Ingredients
Salad Base:
-
3 ears sweet corn, raw or lightly grilled (kernels cut off the cob)
-
2 large ripe peaches, sliced or diced
-
2 ripe avocados, diced
-
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
-
1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese
-
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or basil, chopped
-
1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
Dressing:
-
1/2 tsp sea salt
-
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Tubac Gourmet Foods Lemon Avocado Oil, Tubac Gourmet Foods White Peach Balsamic Vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
2. Assemble the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, sliced peaches, red onion, chopped herbs, and jalapeño (if using).
3. Dress and Toss: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
4. Fold in Avocado and Cheese: Add the diced avocado and crumbled feta/cotija cheese last. Gently fold them in to keep the creamy avocado intact and prevent the cheese from muddying the dressing.
5. Serve Immediately: Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this peach avocado corn salad alongside grilled chicken, fish, or burgers, or enjoy it on its own with tortilla chips. For the best texture, use ripe peaches and add the avocado just before serving.
Do avocado and peach go well together?
Yes. Creamy avocado and juicy peaches balance each other nicely, especially when paired with sweet corn, fresh herbs, and a tangy vinaigrette.
What dressing goes best with peach salad?
A light vinaigrette with olive oil or avocado oil and a fruity vinegar works best. In this recipe, lemon avocado oil and white peach balsamic vinegar add brightness without overpowering the fruit.
Do corn and peaches go together?
Yes. Sweet corn and peaches are a classic summer pairing because they share a naturally sweet flavor that tastes even better with salt, herbs, and cheese.
