Refreshing Strawberry Avocado Corn Dish

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I prepare this salad in advance?

You can put together most ingredients a few hours earlier, but wait to cut and add the avocado right before eating to keep it from browning. Adding an extra squeeze of lime can slow the browning if prepping earlier.

→ How should I cook the corn for this dish?

You can choose how you like your corn: slice fresh kernels for a crunchy bite, quickly boil for a softer texture, or grill for something smoky. If grilling, let it cool first so it doesn't warm the rest of the mix.

→ Are there swaps I can make?

Absolutely! Switch out strawberries for blueberries or mango, mix in cucumber for crunch, use shallots instead of red onion, or go for lemon juice instead of lime in the dressing.

→ What can I add to make it more filling?

Turn this into a meal by adding things like grilled shrimp, chicken, black beans, or chickpeas. You could also mix in cooked grains like quinoa or farro for extra bits of texture and protein.

→ How long will leftovers stay good?

Although best eaten fresh, you can store this in the fridge for up to 2 days in a closed container. The strawberries might soften and the avocado could darken, but a light toss will bring back the flavors.

→ What herbs go well with this?

Cilantro is lovely here, but basil, mint, or parsley work great too. Go with whatever herb you'd enjoy or matches what you're serving.
