This Fresh Corn Tomato and Creamy Avocado Salad is wonderfully versatile. You can put it out in a salad bowl as a simple side dish that stands well on its own, or serve it up with tortilla chips as a dip. You can also serve it over your weeknight dinners as a delicious and flavorful topping.

VARIATIONS

  • Add-ins: One of the best things about easy salad recipes like this one is you can easily toss in extra vegetables that you have on hand for even more flavorful salad ingredients. This recipe would taste great with red onion, bell peppers, sliced green onions, or if you want to make it a little spicy you could even add jalapeño peppers. 
  • Lime Juice Dressing: We’ve made this Avocado Tomato and Corn Salad recipe with a simple lemon dressing. However, if you prefer you can just as easily use lime. Simply replace the fresh lemon juice in the recipe with fresh lime juice, and top the salad off with a bit of lime zest before serving. 
  • Lemon-herb dressing: To make a fresh herb dressing, whisk a tablespoon minced thyme, ½ tablespoon rosemary, and a little lemon zest in with the original lemon dressing before adding it to the salad. 
  • Seasonings: You can also sprinkle the ingredients with your favorite seasonings to experiment with the flavor. It would taste great with garlic pepper, ground pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper. 

MORE SIDE DISHES

HOW TO STORE

  • Serve: Tomato Corn Avocado Salad is best served fresh. You don’t want to leave it out at room temperature for more than an hour or two. 
  • Store: If you have leftovers, you can seal the salad in an airtight container to store in the fridge for 3-5 days. The lemon in the dressing will help prevent the avocado from turning brown too quickly. You can also squeeze some extra lemon juice over the top to help it stay looking fresh longer.
  • Freeze: Unfortunately, the fresh vegetables won’t last well during a freezing and defrosting process, so if you haven’t finished the salad after a few days it’s better to throw it away and make another.
