Ingredients
- *2 large ears fresh corn husks and silk removed
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 medium red onion halved and cut into thick slices
- 1 lb 450g cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 large avocado chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brush the corn with melted butter before placing it and red onion slices on a pre-heated gas grill over medium direct heat, or indoors on a grill pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray set over medium-high heat.
- Cook the corn until the kernels are slightly charred, rotating one-quarter turn every couple of minutes until each side is done. Flip the red onion once while the corn is cooking.
- Remove the corn and red onion from the heat and slice the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife. Discard cobs and transfer the onions and corn kernels to a large salad bowl and set aside.
- Add the tomatoes, avocado, fresh parsley, and lime juice to the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately with your choice of main dish. Enjoy!
Notes
*If fresh corn is not in season, substitute 1 cup frozen sweet corn prepared according to package instructions.
