– 1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
– 3 ears of corn, cooked, shucked and cut off the cob
– 2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
– 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (about half a small bunch)
– 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
– 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
– 2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
– 1 teaspoon sea salt (or table salt)
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
First, in a large salad bowl, combine 1 lb cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered), kernels from 3 ears of corn (cooked, shucked, and cut off the cob), 2 avocados (peeled, pitted, and sliced), 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Add 2 garlic cloves (pressed or finely minced) for a nice kick. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes), adjusting to your taste for that zesty touch.
Then, season with 1 teaspoon sea salt (or table salt) and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss everything until itβs well mixed and serve right away for the best results. If youβre looking for ways to switch things up, consider tips like using grilled corn for extra flavor, which takes about 18-20 minutes on medium/high heat.
