Corn Tomato Avocado Salad
Description
Corn Tomato Avocado Salad features steamed corn kernels from fresh corn on the cob combined with diced avocado, Persian cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion. The bright acidity from freshly squeezed lemon juice and the smoothness of extra virgin olive oil bring these fresh vegetables together into a balanced salad. The kosher salt and black pepper provide seasoning that enhances the natural flavors without overpowering the ingredients. The salad is best served immediately after tossing to preserve the avocado's texture and the overall crispness. The method requires simple steaming of the corn to tenderness before cooling and mixing, making it approachable and fresh.
