Easy Salad Recipes – Heirloom Tomato, Corn, and Avocado Salad

This afternoon I tried out a new Martha Stewart recipe for tomato, corn and avocado salad.  It was so good, I’m thinking about making it again for dinner tonight for the Handsome Husband {because I’m cool like that}.  I reduced the amount of tomatoes, and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and used a red onion instead of scallions.

Being able to change a recipe to suit the needs of what you have, rocks!

Ingredients

1 ear corn {husk and silk removed}
1 pint cherry tomatoes {halved}  I used brown berry
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into chunks
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lime juice {I used bottled}
1 tablespoon olive oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper

Directions

Remove the kernels from the corn, and in a medium sized bowl add the corn, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and olive oil.  Toss and serve.
