CAT Salad

Okay, this may sound bad.  But it is Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad...which is a very long name to keep typing.  I served it with Tuna Burgers and it paired nicely.


Ingredients

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes (I used chopped Roma tomatoes because that's what I had)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 ears of fresh sweet corn
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp vegetable olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Dash of cayenne chili pepper

Directions

Dressing 

  1. Mix the lime juice, oil, honey, salt, pepper, garlic, and c. pepper and whisk to combine.

Salad

  1. Remove the husks from corn and grill for 15 minutes/microwave for 5 minutes.  Cut corn off of cob and into bowl.
  2. Cut tomatoes in half (if using grape) or chop (if using Roma/regular), dice the avocado, and chop cilantro.
  3. Mix together and top with dressing.  Let sit 10-15 minutes to let flavors mingle.

My Changes

  • I forgot to add the cilantro.  I felt like a little something more was needed, and perhaps that was it.
  • This was more on the sweet side for me, so I may add more salt/pepper/chili pepper next time.
  • The upside is- this is SUPER easy to prepare and I will definitely be making it again.
