Keyword: corn and avocado salad
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 6 ears of fresh uncooked sweet corn husked and cut from cob (4 1/2 cups)*
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • lime juice 1 lime or about 3 Tablespoons
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • After husking and cutting corn from the cob, pull out as many corn silks as possible. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Serve immediately or allow it to marinate for a few hours. I like to make it the night before and allow it to marinate over night as it tastes even better the next day.

Notes

Protein – Add a little protein to this salad by tossing in about 1/2 cup of beans (chickpeas or black beans would be delicious) or adding in some chopped grilled chicken. This apple cider vinegar chicken would be yummy.
