Grilled Summer Corn & Avocado Arugula Salad
Summer is here which means cooling refreshing salads are on my go-to list of foods.
Salads are great all year round for sure but this grilled corn and avocado arugula salad love tastes bests when corn is in season May – September!
This recipe is really easy and doesn’t take a lot of work at all, its all about mixing is the right kind of fresh ingredients to bring out their true flavor profiles.
If you don’t like a lot of spice, feel free to eliminate or reduce the amount of jalapeno you put in. I saw a similar salad on one of my favorite shows “Farmhouse Rules” where she made grilled shrimp and this salad with a few different adjustments.
The salad is fast and easy enough to make as a party serving or keep it all to yourself. Because this is a grilled salad you want to make sure you have grill pan or grill easily assessable. I use this grill, which is easy to clean and store away with the rest of your pots and pans.
Let’s get into this salad tho!
