Corn, Tomato & Avocado Salad
Description
The salad incorporates grilled fresh corn kernels, which add a lightly charred sweetness complemented by crunchy diced orange bell pepper and zucchini. The addition of ripe avocado introduces creaminess, while roasted red bell pepper and sweet cherry tomatoes deepen the flavor profile. Fresh basil adds herbal notes.
The dressing blends apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, sugar, and ground black pepper to achieve a balanced tangy and slightly sweet taste, enhancing the vegetables without overpowering them. The ingredients are tossed together and can be served right away or chilled, making it a versatile side dish for warm weather or alongside grilled meats.
