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
- **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.
- 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.
- **Make the salad:**Meanwhile, slice, dice and chop your other veggies. Add to the large mixing bowl with your corn.
- **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.
