Ingredients

Charred Corn & Avocado Salad

  • 3 ears of corn, husked
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pickles, diced
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 100g feta in brine, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1 tsp tamari

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp ground sumac
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. **Char the corn:**Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil on a large skillet over medium heat and add your corn kernels. Cook until lightly charred on all sides and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Place kernels in a large mixing bowl and allow to cool.
  2. Roast the pepitas: in the same pan you used to cook the corn, add your pepitas and splash about 1 tsp of tamari. Roast over medium heat, checking frequently so the seeds don’t burn. Once the tamari has cooked off and seeds are fragrant, about 4 minutes, remove from heat and let cool.
  3. **Make the salad:**Meanwhile, slice, dice and chop your other veggies. Add to the large mixing bowl with your corn.
  4. **Make the dressing:**Whisk dressing ingredients together or shake in a jar fitted with a lid. Pour over salad and toss to combine. Store pepitas separately for a crunchy topping each serving.
