For a smoky flavor, grill the corn instead of microwaving it. Simply remove the husks and grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. For a milder flavor, omit it altogether. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh parsley or mint.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMicrowave the corn: Place the ears of corn, still in their husks, in the microwave. Cook on high power until the kernels are tender, approximately 5-6 minutes.
02
StepPrepare the salad base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and diced avocados.
03
StepAdd the corn: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully remove the husks and silk. Cut the kernels from the cobs and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and avocados. Add the chopped cilantro and gently mix together.
04
StepMake the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well combined.
05
StepDress and serve: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
