Avocado Corn Tomato Salad with a lime juice dressing is delicious served on its own, or as a side that easily pairs with anything on your plate!
Guaranteed to please even the pickiest of eaters, one bowl of Avocado Corn Tomato Salad can convert any anti-avocado person!
This is my daughters favourite salad to make. Yes, she’s a miniature version of Nigella Lawson, always testing recipes out in the kitchen and refusing to share any of it. Throwing things into bowls is one of her favourite pastimes, and this is one salad I MADE her share, for your benefit.
Normally, she’ll dress a bowl full of avocado, tomatoes, corn and red onion slices in a super simple balsamic dressing (2 tablespoons of olive oil to 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, add salt to taste. You’re welcome). Well, how quickly things changed after she helped us make this Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad into a recipe video, fell in love with it all over again, and she hasn’t looked back since.
Making a few adjustments to that dressing, this salad is to die for and can be served with anything. Fish, chicken, steak, pork, shrimp, it goes with all of it. Or, leave out the protein and dive head first into this bowl. Either way, it’s your choice!

Hi Patsy. Cos lettuce is the Australian equivalent to Romaine lettuce.
Patsy Zupan says
This salad looked really good except for using canned corn. I substituted frozen cooked corn that had been cooled. I had no grape or cherry tomatoes so I substituted heirloom tomato from my garden. It was delish. Can you translate your abbreviation for “cos” or romaine lettuce? I have been cooking for 53 yrs and have never come accross the word “cos”. Thank You
Kim says

What a simple, crow-pleasing salad you have here! I could see this salad being a star at a picnic or BBQ! Love corn, avo and tomatoes together 🙂
Karina says
Hi Abby! Yes lime juice! My apologies!
Karina says
Hi Susie, yes its lime juice! My apologies!
Karina says
Hi Judy, thank you for noticing that! It was meant to state lime juice, and it’s all fixed now!
Karina says
Hi Corla! Aw that’s so great to hear, thank you so so much for your message! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. I hope your sister and brother in law feel the same way! You’ll have to come back to let me know!
Karina says
Hi Susie! It’s lime juice. Sorry for the confusion!
Karina says
Hi Dawn! I’m so sorry for the confusion. Definitely lime juice! I’ve fixed the recipe (that’s what I get for writing it out so late last night)! Thank you for noticing!
Dawn says
Hi Karina, this recipe looks fantastic but I’m a little confused. It’s states in the recipe heading that it has a lime juice dressing but the ingredient list mentions lemon juice. I’m assuming it’s just an error and we just just switch lemon juice for lime juice?
Susie says
is it lemon or lime. title calls for lime. ingredeant says lemon
Corla says
Hi Karina! I just wanted to say my husband and I enjoy many of your recipes. My sister and brother-in-law are coming out for a visit next month .Can’t wait to show off some of them. My sister and I love to cook and love to find different recipes to try. Can’t wait!! Haven’t tried this Honey Lime Fruit Salad yet but it’s worth trying. Sounds good! Thank you!!😊
Judy says
Hi,
Your recipe title is with lime juice dressing but your ingredients are for lemon juice. I do think this salad would taste better with lime juice rather than lemon juice tho.
Susie says
Is it lime or is it lemon?
Abby M says
Since it is a lime juice dressing, I am assuming that the lemon juice listed in the recipe should be lime juice instead.
