Corn Salad with Avocado Recipe
A easy, tremendous tasty Corn Salad made with recent or canned corn, avocado and juicy tomatoes, completed with a recent lime dressing. I like the mix of flavours on this salad mixed with the creamy avocado!
Only a nice Corn Salad
This can be a very typical salad I make with corn. Particularly when corn is in season – I completely love making this with freshly cooked ears of corn.
Having mentioned that although, I make this very often with canned corn too. For each comfort and likewise when corn isn’t in season – although really, right here in Australia, corn is fairly good worth a lot of the 12 months spherical.
Easy methods to minimize corn kernels off the cob
Avocado, however, appears to be outrageously costly for about half the 12 months, throughout which period I refuse to succumb to my avocado cravings. So I simply depart it out, or add one thing else like cucumbers to make it a crunchier, recent model.
This Corn Salad is completed with coriander/cilantro – my favorite herb with corn – but it surely additionally works rather well with parsley and dill.
And I don’t make the dressing individually, I simply pour the lime or lemon juice straight over the salad, some lime juice, salt and pepper, then toss. Delish! – Johnsat xx

YES – although ought to be consumed moderately as a result of it’s a carb vegetable. Low fats, low GI and with pure sweetness, corn is an efficient supply of vitamin. It supplies fibre which aids digestion, Vitamin C (1 cup = 20% of RDI), potassium (important electrolyte good for nerves, muscle and coronary heart), amongst different vitamins corresponding to magnesium and Vitamin B. It’s thought of as a better carb vegetable (1 cup = 39g carbs) so bear that in thoughts.
In a nutshell – it’s higher to decide on an ear of corn over a bread roll, although the dietary worth is considerably depleted in the event you slather liberally with butter! 😂
Well being advantages of tomatoes
Tomato is nice for you – eat heaps guilt free! They’re a very good supply of Vitamin A (advantages eyes, coronary heart and hair) and Vitamin C (common nicely being!), in addition to being an surprising good supply of calcium (wholesome bones!). It’s also referred to as a preventative for sure kinds of most cancers and sustaining kidney well being.

One of many few pure produce that accommodates a substantial quantity of monounsaturated fatty acids that are good fat recognized to decrease ldl cholesterol and promote coronary heart well being.

Avocado can also be good for weight reduction as a result of it’s excessive in fibre and (good!) fat which is able to hold you feeling full for longer. You’re much better off loading up a salad with avocado than cheese, or smushing avocado in your morning toast than peanut butter! However as a result of they’re 77% fats, they do must be eaten moderately.
