Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to high. Grill corn, turning every 3-4 minutes, until bright yellow with some charred spots on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the halved grape tomatoes, chopped avocado, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onion.
In another bowl, whisk together olive oil and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cut the grilled corn kernels off of the cob and add to the tomatoes etc. Toss the vinaigrette with the salad; taste and season again with salt and pepper if needed. Serve at room temperature.
