Greek Corn Salad
Greek corn salad with avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and olives, tossed in refreshing dressing with mint. It’s fresh, bright, and goes with so many dishes!
One of our favorite main dishes to serve along side this salad is our Spicy Honey Chicken and Sweet Potato Kebabs! The combo of flavors is so amazing.
Summer is not over yet and that means we’re eating all the corn salads! This Greek corn salad with avocado is so easy to make and tastes like no other Greek salad I’ve shared before.
The secret is all in the fresh ingredients and the best Greek dressing. Instead of using the traditional oregano in my dressing, I added fresh mint, and let me tell you that it was a total game changer!
This dressing just might be my new favorite.

It’s basically your traditional Greek salad ingredients but with the addition of corn and avocado.

Dressing for Greek Salad
I would say my Greek Vinaigrette recipe is my go-to! However, since this Greek salad has corn, I added little honey to bring out the sweetness of the corn and completely omitted the garlic. Also, I added fresh mint, which adds a fresh component to the salad.
How to Make Greek Corn Salad
First, prepare the dressing, by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
Second, combine all of the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss until combined. Taste for salt and pepper, before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh, sweet corn for the best taste, just like in our corn and feta cheese salad..
- To quickly cook the corn: bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add corn and wait for the water to come back to a boil, then set a timer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the corn from the water and cool before cutting kernels off the cob.
- Make sure to cool the corn completely before tossing it into the salad.
- If you’re not a fan of mint, substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
