Summer Salad With Corn, Strawberries & Avocado
If summer was a flavour, this salad would be it! This reader-favourite summer salad is made with corn, strawberries, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, and basil. Easy, healthy, and SO refreshing!
Ingredients
- 1 ear of corn husks removed
- 1 long English cucumber chopped
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes vine-ripened if possible!
- 1/2 an avocado cubed
- 2 cups fresh strawberries quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta
- 1/2 a lemon juice only
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- To steam the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, you can either add the ear of corn straight into the water or place it in a steamer basket. Cover with a lid and let steam for 5 minutes.
- While the corn steams, chop up all other ingredients! This includes the strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado. Crumble the feta, chop the fresh basil, and set aside.
- Once the corn is done, remove from water and allow to cool for a few minutes (until it's comfortable to touch). Using a large knife, place the corn upright and slice the kernels off into a bowl.
- In a large salad bowl, add the kernels of corn, sliced strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado chunks. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, chopped basil, olive oil, freshly-squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to combine.
- You can enjoy this salad immediately, or place it in the fridge for 30 mins to allow it to cool!

*While best enjoyed immediately, this salad will keep for about 1 day. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge!
*If making in advance, add the avocado, lemon juice, and olive oil immediately before serving (to prevent any sogginess).
