Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut them into small bite-sized pieces. If desired, you can peel the cucumbers before cutting.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Wash the cherry tomatoes. Cut each one in half.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and then scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Chop the avocado flesh into small cubes.
- Onion: Finely chop the onion to yield 2 tablespoons.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet corn, chopped cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped avocado, and chopped onion.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 5 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Stir the ingredients together until well mixed.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or portion it onto individual plates.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors. This salad can also be refrigerated for a short while if you prefer it chilled.
Tips:
- For a more robust flavor, grill the corn before adding it to the salad.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape in the salad.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to enhance the salad’s freshness.
- If meal-prepping, add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning.
There you have it - a delicious and healthy Corn Tomato Avocado Salad. This salad is not only quick and easy to prepare but also packed with vitamins and nutrients. Enjoy it fresh, and feel free to experiment with additional ingredients to make it your own!
