Avocado Corn Salad
Description
Avocado Corn Salad combines halved or quartered cherry tomatoes with kernels of cooked corn and sliced avocado, creating a variety of textures from juicy to creamy. Thinly sliced red onion and chopped cilantro contribute pungency and herbal freshness. A dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper brightens and ties the ingredients together without overpowering them. The salad is gently tossed just before serving to keep the avocado intact and maintain the freshness. This recipe provides a crisp yet creamy side dish that pairs well with grilled foods or can be served as a light, refreshing lunch option, especially when tomatoes and corn are in season.
