Corn Avocado and Tomato Salad
From morninlite 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 5 ears) shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups diced avocado (1/2-inch pieces) shopping list
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered shopping list
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Add the corn, avocado, tomatoes, and onion and toss to mix. Serve at room temperature. Serves 4 to 6.
- Tips: Choose ears of corn with bright green husks that are tightly closed. The ends of the corn silk should be golden brown, not pale -- an indication that the corn was picked too early.
- To easily remove corn silk from the kernels, hold the ear in one hand and rub downward with a wet paper towel.
- To remove corn kernels for a salad or salsa, stand an uncooked ear in a shallow bowl and use a sharp, thin-bladed knife. For chowder, add another step: reverse the knife and run the dull side down the ear to press out the rest of the corn and its milk.

- I would probably use Freshlike canned or frozen corn, thawed. It's just as good and less time consuming.
