Great Side Dishes should be easy, but also add a WOW factor, which is why I love these Baked Beans, Macaroni Salad, Ambrosia Salad, or Broccoli Apple Salad.
How to make Corn Salad:
Dressing: Whisk dressing ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Cook Corn: Add 1-2 inches of water to a large skillet. Bring to a boil. Add corn and cook for 3-4 minutes, rotating to cook on all sides. Remove to a plate. Brush corn lightly with olive oil and grill on high heat for a few minutes, rotating it as it cooks, until golden on all sides. Assemble: Cut corn off the cob and add it to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and drizzle with desired amount of dressing. Toss the fresh corn salad then serve!
Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: I love to prep any steps I can, in advance, to help the dish come together quickly. For this recipe, you can chop all the veggies and make the dressing ahead of time, just keep them in the fridge. Wait to add the avocado and pour on the dressing until ready to serve. You can also grill the corn and cut from the cob ahead of time, stored in the fridge.
