Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh off the cobb or frozen)
  • 2 avocados, pitted and cubed
  • 1 cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons red onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Yuzu vinaigrette

Yuzu Vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons Yuzu juice
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil

Instructions

To make the salad:

Mix together the sweet corn, avocados, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and red onions in a large glass bowl. Fold in the cilantro and mint, and gently toss with the yuzu vinaigrette. Add more seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Never throw away leftover corn! Cut the kernels off of the cob and either make a salad (like this one) or freeze the kernels for soup or other recipes!
  • Buy ripe, but not overripe, avocados. You want them to hold up in the this salad.
  • Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans before using in this salad. The liquid from the can is very starchy.
  • Throw in whatever veggies you'd like! I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes and purple onions, so that was perfect for me!
  • If you can't find Japanese Yuzu juice, just use extra lemon juice instead. No biggie!
  • Squeeze some lime juice over the salad before storing. The avocados will start to brown pretty quickly.
