For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn on the cob before cutting off the kernels. This adds a smoky char that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can substitute it with a tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese or a pinch of dried dill. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon or lime juice before adding it to the salad.
