This salad hits the mark for a Charlotte weeknight: corn is a staple here, cherry tomatoes and cilantro stock at every major chain (Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart), and the purple onion and lime are standard produce. Avocado oil is the only potential friction point, though it's now common enough at Harris Teeter and Whole Foods that it rarely requires a special trip. At roughly $2.50 per serving—driven entirely by avocado and oil—it's reasonable for a fresh side or light lunch. The 10-minute claim is honest; there's no cooking, just chopping and tossing. Reheats poorly because avocado browns and cilantro wilts, so plan to eat it same-day, and the lack of protein means it works best as a side dish, not a standalone meal for a family.
