Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Peel and slice the red onions thickly. Brush both the corn and onion slices with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Grill the corn and onion slices for about 10–15 minutes until charred, turning occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once cooled, cut the corn off the cob and dice the grilled onions. Halve the cherry tomatoes and cube the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine grilled corn, chopped onions, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Pour dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
