I have been enjoying the sweet corn lately and I recently discovered that I really like avocados. When I came across this recipe for an avocado and sweet corn salad I just had to try it. The combination of the sweet corn and the creamy avocados sounded really good. Of course the bacon didn’t hurt either. I had also been wanting to try this recipe for a creamy salsa verde dressing and I thought that it would go really well with this salad. The avocado and sweet corn salad with creamy salsa verde dressing turned out really well. The avocado, black beans and dressing made the salad nice and creamy and the juicy tomatoes and sweet corn cut through the creaminess. The salsa verde in the dressing added a lot of flavour and a bit of heat to the salad. Overall the salad was a really nice combination of flavours and textures.

Kevin, u have magic in churning fantastic recipes.They are always fantastic and very well presented.Gonna try your vanila icecream today.Have a great weekend.
Great salad!
Kevin! Now I’m seeing you everywhere! I was already coming to say hello to you from your comment on my blog, but then I happened to click over from Prudy’s blog.
WOW, I am so impressed, everything on here looks so, SO good! -With the exception of the corn ice cream which I am just not so sure about, but it still looks pretty and maybe it is one of those ‘don’t knock it ’till you try it’ ditties!?
I will be back for a second-helping for sure!
Sweet corn kernels in a creamy dressing is just one of the simple joys of life 😉
Wow! Nice colours!
definitely, a must try recipe… what a great side dish… 🙂
This is a tasty looking salad. Can’t go wrong with avocado and bacon though. 🙂
Unfortunately I detest beans. And black beans even more, but perhaps I can omit the beans.
You are on a corn trip, aren’t you? I am glad for that, I love corn, and the salad looks great. Avocados are so good for you too.
mm that looks so good, seriously… can you teach my hubby to cook please? haha
Kevin,
Like many food bloggers I see a lot of recipes. This is one I will make. Really nice work.

That salad looks so tempting
This looks wonderful. My neighbor has been giving me a bunch of fresh corn from his garden. I am excited to try this recipe.

That’s a great looking salad!
Avocado is one of my favourite things to have in a salad, with its rich creaminess. Looks great, Kevin.
That’s the kind of salad I like! Tasty
Cheers,
Rosa
Another great dish Kevin, love the buttermilk dressing!
I loved the way you paired 2 recipes you wanted to try! It looks very fresh, althout I don’t like avocados, I’m sure it was great!
Yet another wonderful salad – love the recipe fusion!
It does sound like a great combintion Kevin:D

I could eat a lot of this creamy creation. I would also stuff it in some pita bread or on top of Naan bread. Wonderful recipe Kevin.

Hi Kevin – That makes a great meal. Corn is especially sweet this time of the year.
mmmmm, this looks absolutely heavenly… Thank you for the great recipe – I’m going to fix this for supper tonight!
I really like that dressing recipe Kevin.
Bacon didn’t hurt either, haha.
OMG! This looks amazing!
I’m definitely gonna make it asap – although it’ll be a veganized version, of course 🙂
I’ll let ya know how it turns out…
Thanks for the great idea!
Love the color combo in this salad! I have been loving the locally grown sweet corn this summer too 🙂
Kevin we love here the avocado and corn salad, and add tomatoes too, so delicious and yours look amazing! xGloria

Ohh Your version looks delish Kevin! I love the addition of the black beans!
The salsa verde dressing sounds great to me!

Kevin,
I can easily eat a big bowl of this salad. Corn salad is my favorite salad for summer. I make it at least once a week. Mine is much more simple then yours though!

This looks like a great mix of flavors. Sounds delicious
Wow, Kevin. That looks outstanding.
Ahhh – where do I sign up?
Beautiful, Kevin. I love these types of salads.
Great sounding salad – I love the idea of this…
I’m very keen on sweetcorn too but haven’t had any yet this season. I’m glad you reminded me how good it is!
That salad looks fabulous, Kevin.
Great looking salad. I loved the dressing!
Sweetcorn? Avocado?? Bacon??? Hold me back, I’m going out to buy the ingredients RIGHT NOW! What a fantastic combo, and a nice quick meal.
This is a wonderful salad Kevin!!

I just made this and really enjoyed it. I had to simplify the dressing because I couldn’t find tomatillos, and I left out the bacon, but it was still excellent.
Dude seriously u rock |..|
All I can say is "WOW"… this salad was amaaazingly delicious. I even made the homemade salsa verde and it was great. Will make this again..and again, and again. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
