Our corn salad recipe has been a reader favourite for a couple of years now that we have finally made it on video thanks to you! You asked…we listened!
Corn Salad
Corn salad is SO EASY! With a handful of fresh ingredients, you have one of the best salads full of juicy, sweet corn, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado pieces and red onion slices. We’ve made this extremely versatile for you:
- CORN:Â Use fresh OR canned in this recipe. We prefer fresh corn boiled in milk for plump, juicy corn kernels.
- TOMATOES:Â Grape tomatoes have an amazing flavour, bursting with tomato juice. Use cherry or Roma in their place if you prefer.
- ONION:Â Red onion is great but green onion slices or chives will also work.
How To Make A Good Salad!
Our corn 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!
Corn Salad Dressing
You will love this fan-favourite dressing with a base of lime juice and olive oil. We also add cilantro to ours, but if you’re not a fan you can substitute it for parsley. Add in a pinch of cumin, optional minced garlic, salt and red chili flakes, and you’re onto a winner!

Definitely giving this a try! Not only are we still awash in cherry tomatoes from the garden, I have a recipe for fried fresh corn that we all love in the summer. I usually make a double batch and freeze the extra, but I know that fried corn would be delicious on top of this.
By the way, I’d like to reiterate another commenter’s thanks to you for sharing your recipes. I’ve made any number of them, and they are always easy to put together, creative but practical, and simply delicious. There are very, very few food bloggers out there who consistently deliver really *good* food, but you are at the top of that list. Thank you so much!

Delicious and super easy salad! We enjoyed it with smoked ribs! I thawed a bag of Tj’s organic frozen corn to use instead of fresh. I also squirted some lime juice directly on my avocado to keep it from discoloring. Used cherry tomatoes from my garden! Definitely will make again!
Lynn Sargent says
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

Love this summery salad, but a couple tweaks. I love cucumber in my salads ( seeded first ) and I use a combo of cilantro, parsley & mint.

Making this for the second time for dinner tonight. It is delicious! We had it for lunch the first time with fresh corn on the cob in it. For dinner I may add some baked gardein vegan chikn and or some black beans just to make it a little heartier. I baked a loaf of lemon bread to have with it. Yum! Thanks for this delicious recipe!

I made this salad today and it was outstanding. I used cilantro rather than parsley and next time I might put a touch less red pepper flakes but it was delicious and we will have this again.

Made this salad for the first time tonight and it was a huge hit with my family! Love this one and the other Avocado/Cucumber/Feta salad. I normally don’t like my tomatoes raw (always cooked) but the dressing here takes away the acidity and sharp taste and I enjoyed them in the salad.
Perfection! Thank you Karina. 😀

Hi Karina, I’ve made that wonderland delicious avocado, corn and tomato salad before and loved it. Weymouth husband and I are it in one sitting. So my question is can it be made ahead of time like a few hours? Or will the avocado turn brown? I want to bring a big bowl to my sisters bbq later today. Thanks for all he great and delicious recipes.
Karina says
You can make it ahead, I would just prepare the avocado first. It should still be great though! Enjoy your BBQ!!
