Corn Salad with Steak and Cilantro Chimichurri

If you’re looking for some easy , this corn and avocado salad with steak and cilantro chimichurri is SO succulent and mega flavorful. It just requires some chopping, mashing and blending! No intense cooking skills.

There’s basically nothing largest than the perfect  that we get virtually here towards the end of summer. Some of my weightier memories are eating with the family as a kiddo. My grandparents used to get SO excited when they’d get the perfect sweet corn. Now they mutter well-nigh how the corn in Florida never compares to the New York corn. Ha! So I wanted to make the most of it and made up this little meal and I’m so proud of myself considering this is soo dang good. I could eat it every day.

Even just the corn salad by itself is so tasty. If I was just doing the salad on it’s own, I’d probably just do chunks of avocado rather than the mashed. BUT with the rest of this whole set, the mashed avocado adds the perfect texture with everything else. And the spice of the chimichurri – perfection!
