Easy Corn Avocado & Tomato Salad Recipe

This bright vegetable dish includes corn, avocado, tomato, and more. The hearty textures, healthy fat, and fiber will help fill you up on your Daniel Fast - or whenever you’re looking for a fresh veggie recipe.

You can eat this combo by itself, put it on top of leafy greens, or us as a dip. This quick, easy recipe cannot be messed up, and it can be modified by changing up ingredients in a number of ways for variety.

How to Make the Corn

Here are a few options for the corn you use in the recipe.

Frozen Corn

Simply thaw frozen corn kernels.

Boiled Corn on the Cob

Add shucked corn to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook 3-5 minutes until corn is tender. Stir to ensure corn is fully submerged. Cool until comfortable to handle and cut kernels off the cob.

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill corn 10-15 minutes, until tender, rotating frequently. Cool until comfortable to handle and cut kernels off the cob.

What is the Best Oil to Use?

You can use any plant-based oil on the Daniel Fast, but some oils are better for you than others. In general, we consume too many oils high in omega-6 fats (like corn and soybean oils). 

Try to balance this out by using olive oil or avocado oil in this recipe.

What Can I Add to this Corn Salad Recipe?

You could keep this dish strictly vegetables or add some beans for extra protein. A few options to add to this dish:

• Black Beans

• Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans)

• Bell peppers

• Fresh spinach, finely chopped

• Pumpkin seeds
