Ingredients

4 ears fresh corn husked and cleaned
1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes - halved
¼ cup red onion thin half moon sliced or finely chopped
¼ cup fresh herbs cilantro, basil, or parsley chopped
1 jalapeño pepper seeded and finely chopped (optional)

Dressing

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lime juiced (use more if needed)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional:

Avocado
Crumbled feta or cotija cheese for serving

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until the corn is charred and tender. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly.
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Place the grilled corn kernels in a large mixing bowl. Add the halved grape tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the grilled corn salad to a serving bowl or platter. If desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta or cotija cheese.
Serve immediately with avocado slices or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
