Corn Salad

This has to be my favorite summer salad. I love how easy it is to throw together, and how fresh it really taste.

  • 2 cups cooked corn, fresh (Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes)
  • 1-2 avocados, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 roma tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

 Combine the corn, avocado, tomatoes, and onion in a large glass bowl. Mix together the dressing ingredients in another bowl, pour over the salad, and gently toss to mix. Chill salad for an hour or two to let flavors blend.
