Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad

August 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Oh boy, I have to give you my apologies.  On Sunday my computer crashed.  It crashed so bad that it wouldn’t even turn on.  I was in the middle of creating a recipe, went to the kitchen to finish the recipe and when I came back, my computer was off.  Nothing would make it turn back on.  So I took it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy, since I have a two-year service warranty with them.  They couldn’t turn the computer on either.  So they took my precious computer and said they are sending it to Geek Squad headquarters and within 2 to 4 weeks I’ll have my computer back.  If they can’t fix my computer they will give me a new one.  You know what was on that computer?  My pictures!  I made 4 recipes in advance to post for you, now they are possibly gone.  On Sunday Geek Squad said they will back up my computer and hopefully give me my pictures the next day.  So far, though it has only been one day, but so far I haven’t heard anything.  I was stupid and didn’t back up my computer.  Now I could have lost a years worth of photographs.  I am so angry!!!  Knowing I could not blog for 4 weeks, I bought a cheapie HP Notebook and I hate it.  It has Windows 8 on it and I don’t like it at all.  I like my computer!   So I am telling you this for two reasons, one I may not have a recipe everyday since I’m going on vacation next week and two the coloring maybe way off.  The Notebooks coloring has a pink tone to everything.  I tried to adjust it, but I still see pink.  Lucky for me, I had two recipes on my camera, so at least I have you covered for the next two days.  I’ll try to whip up some more recipes this week.  Sorry for the gibber talk, but now on to today’s recipe.  By the way, thanks for listening.

Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad

This my Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad.  When I was grilling my vegetables, I had no idea what I was making, but then it all came together beautifully.  It’s fresh tasting, full of natural flavors is simply incredible.  Nothing beats the flavor of vegetables on the grill.  I don’t know what it is about grilling, but it really brings the flavor out.

Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad


Have you ever grilled an avocado?  This was my first time and let me tell you it is so yummy.  Grilling the avocado really changed the texture of it.  It made it more firm, which makes it stand up great in this salad.  To preserve the avocado from turning brown I squeezed fresh lime juice all over the salad.  It was subtle enough to add flavor, but not enough to be over whelming.

Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad

I also grilled to jalapenos, which added a nice hint of heat, but didn’t make it hot.  I topped the salad with just a pinch of Cojita Cheese, which I picked up at my local grocery store.  I added just a little of it for added flavor, but not enough to take over the salad.

Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad

I have been having this salad with my lunches this week.  Too add a little more to it, I threw in some fresh cherry tomatoes to make it more of a meal.  I love it!  Grilled tomatoes would be good in this too, but honestly I like it the way it is.  This salad would be great as a side dish, on taco, tortilla chips dipped in it or even as a topping on a hot dog!  Yummers!!

    Yep, that’s awful. I back up my computer every night for that reason. I have found that sometimes the computer gets too hot and it shuts it off. I make sure to never keep it on my lap and in a place where it can vent. I have had it shut off too but my husband had opened it up and vacuumed out any dust and that seems to fix it so fingers crossed for you. I would eat this whole salad waiting to hear if the computer will live!

      I am soooooo going to start backing up my computer. I learned the hard way. I have to start turning off my computer. I just wish my pages would restore so I din’t have to keep opening all of my daily posting links. I think we will find out in about 4 weeks if the computer lives or dies. Crossing fingers it lives!!

    Jennifer, I wish you the best with getting your computer fixed with your hard drive intact. I had my hard drive crash not too long ago, and fortunately had only 4 days of un-backed-up stuff to deal with.

    This recipe sounds great. My husband doesn’t like avocados, so I probably won’t make it, but will save it, just in case. 🙂

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.
