Instructions

Lightly brush each of the ears of corn with olive oil and then generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat your grill and once hot, add corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating so that every side gets a bit charred, 10-12 minutes total. Once done, let cool enough to handle and then cut the kernels off of the cob and transfer to a large bowl.

Add the onion, bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, avocado, garlic, jalapeno, sunflower seeds and cilantro to the bowl.

Make your dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until combined. About 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle the dressing onto the corn salad and combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Char the Corn Properly 🌽
Grill corn in husks or wrapped in foil for 3-4 minutes per side over medium-high heat, then remove husks and char directly on grates for caramelized kernels that add depth and sweetness to your salad.
Prepare Your Dressing First ⏰
Whisk together your lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, and olive oil 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld, then toss with warm corn to absorb the dressing while still hot.
Layer Your Textures Strategically 🥒
Add delicate ingredients like avocado and fresh herbs just before serving, while combining heartier vegetables (cucumber, tomato, pepper) with the warm corn to prevent wilting and maintain the salad's visual appeal.
Toast the Sunflower Seeds 🌻
Lightly toast sunflower seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the salad to unlock their nutty flavor and improve crunch that won't get soggy from the vinaigrette.
Balance Your Acid and Heat 🌶️
Taste as you go and adjust lime juice and jalapeño levels based on your preference—the acid should brighten without overpowering the sweet corn, while jalapeño heat should build gradually with each bite.
