| Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad |
What makes this salad just fabulous is that the leftovers taste even better the following day!!!! It's the perfect salad to serve as a side dish next to our kofta recipe. Simple, tasty and easy to put together.
The dressing a honey-lemon vinaigrette gives this salad such an amazing flavour!! There's something about honey and lemon that I love. The sweetness of the honey along with the tangy lemon is always a winning combo in my book.
 |
| I've removed the corn kernels off the ears... I actually removed corn from 4 ears I had smaller sized corn |
 |
| Always try and use tomatoes off the vine, they taste so much better |
 |
| Cut the cherry tomatoes in fours |
 |
| A handful of coriander (cilantro) |
 |
| Combine corn, tomato, red onion, coriander and half the dressing |
 |
| Now chop up your avocado |
 |
| Add your avocado to the rest of the salad and slowly fold in the avocado, this will ensure that the avocado doesn't turn into mush... Finally add the remaining dressing. |
Ingredients
10 cherry tomatoes, cut into fours
1 ripe avocado, medium sized, use 2 if they are smaller
2 fresh ears of corn
2-3 tbls fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
1/2 medium red onion
