Grilled Corn Salad with Smokey Vinaigrette
This Grilled Corn Avocado Salad with Smokey Paprika Vinaigrette is a fantastic way to use up your farmers market produce.
It’s an unexplainable truth that certain foods taste better when someone else makes them.
Take sandwiches for instance. My husband and I can stand side by side, making the exact same sandwich, down to the folding of the ham… and his will taste better to me. Very suspicious.
Salads are the same way. There is no better salad than the one your friend makes.
Today’s Grilled Corn Salad with Smokey Vinaigrette happens to be one of my favorite late summer salads.
Warm grilled corn tenderly cut off the cob, avocado, vine ripened heirloom tomatoes, a touch of heat from red onion, fresh herbs, and a bold smokey paprika vinaigrette.
Grilled Corn Salad with Smokey Vinaigrette is extremely satisfying and very well balanced in taste and texture.
But… I’d like it even better if you made it for me. *wink*

I am SO loving this salad Sommer! I have been obsessed with making a smokey paprika vinaigrette since I saw it somewhere in a magazine…this combo of veggies and dressing go so perfect together. Your photos making me hungry! :)

I haven’t had any corn on the cob all season…what is wrong with me. I wonder if farm stand down the street still has good selection.
Sounds like a fabulous salad. I know exactly what you mean about someone else making food–so weird!
