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.
