Creating Summer Corn Salad with Cherry Tomatoes & Lime Butter is simple. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove any silk. You can either grill the corn or boil it in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
2. Cool the Corn: Once cooked, let the corn cool slightly before handling. Cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add Tomatoes and Onion: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and finely chopped red onion to the bowl with corn.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the lime butter dressing over the corn and tomato mixture. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
6. Add Cilantro: Fold in the chopped cilantro, mixing well to distribute the flavors.
7. Optional Addition: If using, gently fold in diced avocado for added creaminess.
8. Chill (Optional): If you prefer, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a vibrant and delicious Summer Corn Salad ready to enjoy!
