Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears fresh or frozen corn, husks and silks removed
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil, divided
  • 1 packed cup arugula or spinach leaves
  • 4-6 radishes, sliced (1 cup)
  • 6 ounces fresh blackberries (large ones cut in half)
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (white and light green parts)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 large lime, or 2 small)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the corn. Grill corn over direct heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, to get grill marks and desired doneness.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare and slice the remaining ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. When the corn is grilled to desired doneness, set it aside until cool enough to handle. Cut corn kernels off the cob.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently toss together arugula, radishes, blackberries, avocado, green onions, and corn kernels. Just before serving, drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss until incorporated.
  5. Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

- For added depth, try grilling the radishes alongside the corn for a smoky flavor.
- Make it vegan by omitting the avocado or using a plant-based alternative.
- Leftovers can be quickly tossed into a wrap for lunch the next day.
