This summery BBQ corn and avocado salad has the perfect crisp crunch infused with the smoky-sweet flavor of bbq sauce.

I always viewed canned corn as one of those items that you had to have in your pantry… but you never actually use. We all have a few of those, right? But then my friend introduced me to corn salad and I’ve been making many versions ever since. It’s a great go-to salad since it’s so quick and easy, you can make it in advance and it just gets better in the fridge, and it’s also really budget friendly. I make it for all types of events and meals — barbecues, shalosh seudos, sheva brachos… I’ve already posted this corn salad with pickles, which has just the right blend of zesty crunch, and now here’s another one!

I’m usually not a huge barbecue sauce person, but every so often I crave that delicious sweet-and-smoky flavor. Adding just a small amount to this BBQ corn and avocado salad really takes it up a notch so it’s not your same-old corn salad.
