Ingredients
6–8 ears corn on the cob
2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 avocado
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

Juice of 1 small lime
Instructions
1. Whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and lime juice together. Set aside.
2. Add 1-2 inches of water to a large skillet and bring to a boil. Add corn and cook for 3-4 minutes, rotating to cook evenly. Drain.
3. Heat grill to medium-high. Brush corn lightly with olive oil and grill, rotating until golden on all sides.

5. Add diced red onion, chopped red bell pepper, and cubed avocado.
6. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
You can substitute frozen corn by thawing and charring in a skillet.
Adjust salt and lime juice to taste.
