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
- 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.
- Cut the kernels off the corn on the cob and discard the cobs.
- 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.
- Into a serving bowl, add in corn, avocado, cucumber, avocado, peaches, bell pepper, jalapeño, and basil.
- 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.
