Instructions

For the Salad

  1. Add avocado, corn, tomatoes, and red onion to a large bowl. Squeeze lime over the salad, and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, spoon dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Pour onto a platter. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

*I find that good corn doesn’t even need to be cooked before adding it to this salad, but if you like, just microwave the corn with the husk on for 3-4 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove the husk and the silk slides right off!
