Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 ears corn, shucked
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1 cup seeded and diced English cucumber
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. To roast the corn, rub the shucked ears of corn with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, reserving the remaining oil to dress the salad. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning often, until the corn is slightly charred and still crisp, 8 to 10 minute. Remove from the heat and cool briefly.
Cut the kernels off the cob and place in a large bowl. (Two cobs of corn should yield 1 1/2 to 2 cups of kernels.) Add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.

CORN, AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Corn, Avocado and Cucumber Salad image

This straight-from-the-garden vegetable salad is the essence of summer on a plate. It's very easy to make, but you'll need to buy sweet young corn, tender enough to eat raw, as well as perfectly ripe avocados and the freshest cucumbers. Feel free to add cherry tomatoes and radishes, and sprigs of crunchy purslane, if you can find it.
