Corn Salad with Miso Lemon Dressing
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 3 cups Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or roasted) 🌽
- 1 large Avocado, diced 🥑
- ¼ cup Red onion, finely diced 🧅
- Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish 🌿
- For the Miso Lemon Dressing:
- 2 tbsp White miso paste 🧴
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice 🍋
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or Mayo (for extra creaminess!) 🫒
- ½ tsp Honey or Maple syrup 🍯
- Cracked black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill it for a smoky flavor or lightly boil the kernels until tender. Drain well! 🌽🔥🍳
- The Creamy Element: Dice your avocado into bite-sized chunks. This adds that rich, buttery texture seen in the photo! 🥑💎✨
- The Sharp Contrast: Finely dice the red onion to add a pop of color and a zesty crunch. 🧅📐🥇
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, lemon juice, oil/mayo, and sweetener until completely smooth and emulsified. 🍋🌪️🤝
- Toss Gently: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, avocado, and onion. Pour the miso lemon dressing over the top and toss gently so the avocado stays intact. 🥣🌪️🙌
- The Final Garnish: Sprinkle generously with fresh cilantro and a crack of black pepper to brighten the flavors! 🌿🧂🎨
- Chill & Serve: For the best taste, let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes to let the miso flavors meld with the sweet corn! ❄️⏲️✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Creamy” Secret: As shown in the photo, the combination of miso and avocado creates a naturally thick and rich coating that makes every bite feel decadent! 🥑🛡️💎
- The “Flavor” Hack: If you love a bit of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeño to balance the sweetness of the corn! 🌶️🎯✅
