Avocado Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette! Delicious, refreshing and oh so flavorful! I hope you give this salad a try! It’s bright, crunchy and delicious! Enjoy with chips, grilled meats or by the spoonful!

Summer’s almost here. . you know because the kids are out of school and you can find sweet corn on the cob everywhere. Here’s another great, fresh salad to enjoy! This is the easiest and most yummy (most yummy?) salad out there! It’s light and refreshing. ’nuff said. Thank you to the Authentic Suburban Gourmet for her lovely recipe! I just added yellow and orange bell peppers for color and taste!

Friends, what are you doing this weekend? I think most people will be firing up their grills and grilling some food. It’s my favorite thing to do when the weather gets nicer. Fire up the grill, pull off the patio furniture covers and pour some wine or something refreshing! 

I absolutely LOVE foods like this. Very little cooking involved. .  you do have to grill some corn but that’s easy! Don’t skip that part! You also cannot skip the cilantro vinaigrette! It’s so good! 

I will be eating this and my chunky salad with basil vinaigrette (click here), black bean, quinoa & citrus salad (click here) and my fusili pasta salad (click here) all summer long!!
