JUMP TO RECIPE
I’ve been eagerly waiting for weeks for the local corn to be ready because this salad has been on my mind. After coming back from vacation, I did a big grocery run and was thrilled to find a huge box of fresh, local “peaches and cream” corn at the health food store.
The key to this salad is using fresh, crisp, juicy local corn. Trust me, frozen corn just won’t compare! Now that that’s settled, let’s dive into what else makes this salad amazing. Avocados bring a creamy texture and healthy fats, while tomatoes and red pepper add a refreshing crunch and juiciness. Together, they create the perfect mix of textures.
Make sure to use fresh herbs for their full flavor and health benefits. For the dressing, I keep it simple with lime juice, sea salt, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
This salad has an incredible energy to it—you’ll feel it with every delicious bite!
To turn this salad into a full meal, you can add some protein. Consider including chickpeas from the recipe or serving it with some Orange Mint Salmon; the flavors are a great match.

Tonight, I made the salad for dinner. I couldn’t resist tasting it along the way, and it turned out delicious. I’m also adding some goat cheese and olives.

Those are excellent additions, especially with the salty kick from the olives! I’m glad you liked it!
I added two small fresh jalapeños (seeded), and it was fantastic! They brought a nice texture and a hint of heat to balance the corn’s sweetness. Yum!
Great idea! A little spice is always welcome!
This salad is absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely make it again while fresh corn is in season. I added the chickpeas, and the cayenne pepper gave it a delightful hint of spice. (I used only about 1/2 tsp.) Such a wonderful meal!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed it and added the cayenne!
I love this salad but usually end up using frozen organic corn because fresh organic corn is hard to find. Any tips on where to find some in Toronto?
Organic local corn in Ontario won’t be available for a little while, but non-organic options are out there. Corn on the cob is not GMO, only the corn used for animal feed is. I’ve seen corn on the cob at grocery stores, and it’s likely from further south.
