Ingredients

Scale

Peach Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup peach preserves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons hot honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Peach and Corn Salad:

  • 4 ears of corn on the cob, shucked and silk removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe avocados, skin and pit removed and diced into small squares
  • 1 cucumber, diced (regular or English)
  • 3 ripe peaches, stem and pit removed and diced (*I keep the skin on)
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeds and stem removed and diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut into a chiffonade (thin strips)
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, seeds and stem removed, and minced


Instructions

  1. Make the Peach Vinaigrette. Use a blender, food processor or immersion blender cup and pour in 1/4 cup olive oil, white wine vinegar, peach preserves, dijon mustard, hot honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse to combine until smooth and creamy. Place in the fridge to cool.
  2. Cut the kernels off the corn on the cob and discard the cobs.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, add in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss in the corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until tender and roasted, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. *Reduce the heat to medium low if it starts popping out of the pan. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Into a serving bowl, add in corn, avocado, cucumber, avocado, peaches, bell pepper, jalapeño, and basil.
  5. Pour the peach vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • This salad is best fresh. It gets watery from the cucumbers and the avocados will start to brown.
  • Try and get as much of the corn silk off as possible before cutting the corn off the cob.
