Well, this recipe did not disappoint. It was fabulous and so easy to make. My family and I (yes, even the kiddos) devoured this with tortilla chips. This was also freaking delicious eating it by the spoonful, just plain.
I added the toasted walnuts and tomatoes. oh, yes. I love texture and a bit of crunch and the walnuts were fabulous in this.
Bacon, Avocado and Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 5 strips thick-cut bacon
- 4 ears corn husks and silks removed
- 2 ounces cotija cheese feta cheese may be substituted
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 Hass avocado
- 1 to mato diced
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place a heavy skillet over medium heat. Arrange the bacon strips in the skillet and cook on both sides until the bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to dry. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.
- Cut the kernels off each cob by laying the cob flat on a cutting board and using a sharp knife to remove the kernels. Discard the cobs and transfer the kernels to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook the corn over medium-high heat until it is just slightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, crumble in the cotija cheese, and add the cilantro and lime juice. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Roughly crumble the bacon into the corn mixture and toss to combine.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin, and cut the avocado into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer the avocado to the skillet and toss.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving. Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for later. Bring to room temperature before serving.
