How to make Grilled corn salad with hot honey-lime dressing

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, for 10–12 minutes, or until the kernels are very tender and charred in spots.

  5. Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice, honey, Sriracha, granulated garlic, and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt in a large bowl until combined.

  6. Add the corn, diced avocados, chopped chilli, and chopped coriander (cilantro) to the vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Cover the salad with cling film, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent the avocados from browning.

  9. The salad can be prepared up to 1 day in advance; keep it chilled until ready to serve.
