    This cucumber avocado tomato salad is the ultimate summer salad. Made with fresh corn, goat cheese, and more, topped with a lemon honey vinaigrette.

    Enjoy this salad on its own or serve it with crispy onion rings and grilled shrimp for the perfect lunch or dinner.

    This is the perfect salad to make when you want something fresh and delicious. It’s creamy, made with good ingredients, and super easy to make. I don’t know about you but during the summer months, I always crave salads and veggies. I recently made this creamy cucumber salad and it was a hit! So of course I had to share another cucumber salad!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Cucumbers – Any type of cucumbers will work but I recommend using garden or English cucumbers.
    • Tomatoes – Grape or cherry tomatoes work best for this recipe.
    • Corn – Fresh, fresh, fresh! For best results, use fresh corn! It makes such a difference. No need to cook the corn, raw fresh corn is best for this salad. Use sweet corn, if it’s in season.
    • Avocado – Must be ripe.
    • Goat Cheese – Completely optional but it makes the salad extra creamy. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, use feta instead or simply omit it.
    • Lemon – Use 1/2 of a juicy lemon.
    • Olive Oil – The base for the vinaigrette.
    • Honey – Balances the acidity of the lemon juice and adds a little sweetness to the salad. If you don’t have honey on hand, add a pinch of sugar.
    labeled and measured ingredients.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    1. To make the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set it aside.
    2. Remove the husks from the corn and discard the husks and silks. Cut the kernels off the corn and place them into a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients.
    3. Add the vinaigrette to the salad and mix well. Season the salad generously with salt and pepper and serve right away. Top with more goat cheese and cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!

    Top Tips For The Perfect Salad

    • It’s crucial that you use ripe avocados and fresh corn. Also, make sure to season generously with salt and pepper.
    • The more you mix the salad the creamier it will become but don’t overmix otherwise it will become mushy.
    • Use a mason jar to prepare the vinaigrette and shake it up real good! Pour it over the salad right before serving. If you add the dressing too far in advance you’ll run the risk of the salad turning watery.
    • Want to make it spicy? Throw in some diced jalapenos.
    • For extra flavor, grill the corn before you remove it from the cob.
    • Use a mandoline to slice the cucumbers if you like them extra thin.

    Storage

    I highly recommend enjoying this salad immediately after preparing it however if you have any leftovers, place them in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
