Jenn, thank you so much for choosing a delicious, summer recipe! I made tamale pancakes topped with the salad and Mexican style crabmeat. This is one of our best summer dinners thus far!

Hope you all enjoyed the recipe! Have a great week everyone 🙂

I added some additional veggies and iceberg lettuce and topped it with a boiled egg. Going on vacation means you have to empty your fridge 😉 Love the recipe!
I changed up the salad quite a bit, adding some black beans and barley and turning it into more of a complete meal. Delicious! http://www.joanne-eatswellwithothers.com/2012/07/recipe-corn-avocado-salad-with-black.html
I loved that this was such a flexible meal — I love seafood and my boyfriend hates it, so I made swai for mine and chicken marinated in salsa for his. (He complained that he didn’t get a fancy plate like mine when I served it, but his wasn’t going in the post!)

Thanks, Jenn!
We made some grilled mahi-mahi ceviche in tribute to a trip to Peru and ended up eating the whole thing as a dip with plantain chips. Delicious! Thanks for the inspiration!

I stayed pretty simple, then topped with chipotle-lime grilled tofu. The perfect summer produce casual dinner.

Enjoyed this week’s recipe! I seared a piece of salmon and put it on top of soba noodles with corn and avocado dressing. http://www.givingtable.org/blog/2012/7/16/the-food-matters-project-soba-noodles-with-avocado-corn-and.html
Great recipe this week, I just love anything with avocado! I made a cilantro-lime vinaigrette that goes great on salads, grilled fish, tacos…. just about anything! Check out my recipe links below the recipe! http://laurajanelli.posterous.com/cilantro-lime-vinaigrette-the-food-matters-pr
Yum! I love love love fresh corn. I also am on a cold soup kick since the temps have been triple digits. So, I decided to turn the salad into Chilled Avocado and Roasted Corn Chowder. Dub Yum.
Pingback: Food Matters: Corn-Avocado Salad with Smoked Salmon | joinmefordinner
Great summertime dinner salad! Easy to adapt. I topped it with smoked salmon. http://joinmefordinner.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/food-matters-corn-avocado-salad-with-smoked-salmon/ Having just returned from Cuba where food choices are limited, we loved all the variety in this salad.
I just made the salad simple and skipped the searing… came out wonderful! Love the lime!

Thanks for the pick, Jenn! I loved seeing you with your little ones in your blog post. I made corn avocado radish salad with nothing seared on top. Just simple–too hot to cook any more than the 5 minutes to cook this corn! But it made for a great lunch, which I just polished off 🙂

Great choice Jenn! I did a Grilled Shrimp and Corn Fiesta Salad and we loved it 🙂

i loved this week’s dish and can’t wait to take a look at all of the group’s recipes! http://simpleandamazing.blogspot.com/2012/07/food-matters-project-chicken-with-corn.html
This recipe reminded me of a favorite from summer’s at my parents’ house! Topped my salad with fresh fruits, veggies and an asian marinated grilled pork tenderloin. Enjoy!

What a great summer pick! We combined tomatoes, peaches, okra, and beans to make a great summer salsa salad.

Oooooh Jenn, loved your pick this week!!! We skipped the seared something and tortilla crisps, but added mango and a honey-lime dressing. So much yum!

We were inspired by the recipe of another Food Matters Project member, Nicole. We made charred corn & chile risotto with seared tuna & it was delicious!

No corn when I went grocery shopping, but there were some lovely green beans and a bright yellow squash just waiting for me to bring home http://foodandfrederick.com/2012/07/16/the-food-matters-project-summer-veggies-and-seared-scallops/
I made a simple grilled corn, avocado, black bean and tomato salad and topped it off with a nice basil vinaigrette. Thanks for the great recipe! Perfect, no cook dish for those hot summer days!

your basil plant makes me want to be ambitious and plant my own basil too!

I used most of the ingredients Mark listed but I let the scallops cook themselves by making Ceviche. Great pick Jenn!

I used a pretty tri-color quinoa as the base of my salad, and Manchego cheese as my “lil something on top” 🙂

Pingback: Food Matters Project # 22: Fresh Corn Salsa | Fifthfloorkitchen's Blog
A little delayed. Since I was hosting a book club, I made salsa out of this! Love the fresh corn!
http://fifthfloorkitchen.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/food-matters-project-22-fresh-corn-salsa/
Sorry, I was late to the party and even later to share the link! I ended up making salad wraps in cabbage leaves, with nothing seared on top. I made the corn salad twice, subbing lime juice and raw corn for the orange juice and cooked corn in the second try. I thought the orange juice was way too sweet, did anyone else feel that way?
http://cookieandkate.com/2012/sweet-corn-salad-wraps/
I thought it probably would be, so I used just a splash of orange juice and subbed lemon juice for the rest of it, but I didn’t try it the original way.
This looks wonderful. How many does this recipe serve?
