For a smoky kick, try grilling the tomatoes and onions alongside the corn. Adjust the amount of cilantro and garlic to your preference. Lime juice can be substituted for red wine vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile. For a spicier salsa, add a finely diced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes. This salsa is best served fresh. If making ahead, add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C) and lightly oil the grates. (5 minutes)
02
StepGrill the Corn: Place the shucked corn directly on the preheated grill. Cook, turning frequently, until the kernels are lightly charred and tender-crisp, about 8-12 minutes total. (12 minutes)
03
StepCool and Cut: Remove the grilled corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Transfer the kernels to a large mixing bowl. (10 minutes)
04
StepCombine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, and white onion to the bowl with the corn kernels. (5 minutes)
05
StepDress the Salsa: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Pour the dressing over the salsa and gently toss to combine. (3 minutes)
06
StepSeason and Serve: Season the salsa with kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately, or chill for later. For optimal flavor, allow the salsa to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (3 minutes)
