Print Recipe

A quick and healthy recipe featuring a creamy avocado dip paired with a smoky, sweet grilled corn salad. Perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 ears fresh sweet corn, husked and cleaned
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave
  • A few leaves fresh basil or mint, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place husked corn on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until kernels are charred and tender.
  2. Remove corn from grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut kernels off the cob and place in a medium bowl.
  3. Add finely diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes (if using), minced jalapeño, and chopped basil or mint to the corn. Drizzle with olive oil and honey/agave. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
  4. In a food processor, combine avocados, lime juice, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Transfer avocado dip to a serving bowl. Spoon grilled corn salad on top or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best creamy texture. Fresh corn is preferred for sweetness and texture; frozen corn can be grilled or sautéed as a substitute. Press plastic wrap directly on avocado dip surface to prevent browning if storing. Serve dip chilled or at room temperature with warm corn salad for best contrast.
