If you’re anything like me, then you know just how hard it is to have any kind of self-control when chips and salsa are involved. This Avocado Corn Salad is no exception, and is a fresh and chunky version that is packed with one of my favorite foods, avocados!

This Avocado Corn Salad is so yummy when you eat it with chips, but I also love to use it as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. It’s also delicious as a side dish all by itself, and you could also stuff it into taco shells for a meatless dinner option, too.

Tips and Notes

  • Frozen, Fresh, or Canned Corn will all work. You can replace the frozen corn with fresh corn or even canned corn that has been drained really well. I also LOVE this with grilled corn! If you’re using fresh corn, there’s no need to cook the corn first unless you want to.
  • Make it a full meal. If you want to make this Avocado Corn Salad into a main dish or if you’d like to add some protein, try adding grilled chicken or even cooked chickpeas. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is spooned over grilled chicken or fish.

Serving Suggestions

  • Wait to add the avocados and tomatoes. Don’t add the avocados or tomatoes until right before you are ready to serve your avocado corn salad. This will prevent any excess browning from your avocados and prevent too much moisture buildup from your tomatoes.
  • Serve this avocado corn salad over chicken, fish, as a side dish, or as a dip for chips. It’s super versatile and delicious, you’ll find all kinds of ways to enjoy it! I make it all the time for potlucks and get togethers and serve it with a big bag of tortilla chips.

How to Store Avocado Corn Salad

Any leftover Avocado Corn Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you’d like to prepare this salad in advance, make as directed but wait to add the avocados and tomatoes until right before serving for best results.
