Dressing
- 1 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Salad
- 4 ears corn
- 4 small avocados cubed
- 1 large red onion chopped
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes washed and halved
- salt and pepper
Make the Dressing
Pour white balsamic vinegar and honey into a small saucepan, whisking to combine. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes until balsamic mixture has been reduced by half. Set aside to cool. (Dressing will thicken slightly as it cools)
Make the Salad
Wrap each ear of corn in a damp paper towel. Place wrapped corn in the microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes per ear. With a kitchen towel or oven mitt, carefully remove cooked corn from microwave, unwrap paper towel, and place on a cutting board. Hold ear with oven mitt to steady and cut off about ¼ inch of the cob from the stalk end. With your hands, carefully push opposite end of corn to remove cob from its husk and silk. Lay cob horizontally on cutting board and cut kernels from all sides of the cob. Repeat with remaining cobs.
In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, cubed avocado, chopped onion and halved cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When ready to serve, drizzle honey balsamic reduction over top and stir. Leave remaining dressing on the side for guests to add more as desired.
- If you have any leftovers from your rocking summer BBQ, store tightly covered in the fridge. This recipe keeps for just a few days
- I like to keep the dressing and salad separate until ready to serve
- Any remaining dressing will keep for much longer than the salad. I store it covered on the counter
