Fresh Summer Salad

So I had an avocado left over from my last sushi night. I was trying to figure out what to do with it since 1 avocado clearly isn't enough to make guacamole. I decided to make a delicious summer salad I saw on Paula Dean's show (i LOVE her). A great way to eat healthy and light!

Ingredients:
~2 cups cooked corn, fresh or frozen
~1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (I LOVE avocados, so I prefer 2)
~1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (I had some fresh ones from our garden)
~1/2 cup finely diced red onion

Dressing: (I just made the dressing to taste but if you want to follow the recipe click here)
~Cilantro or Basil (if you don't like cilantro, you can also substitute with Basil - I put both)
~Olive oil
~Lime zest from 1 lime
~Lime juice to taste
~Salt
~Pepper

Combine the corn, avocado, tomatoes and onion in a large glass bowl. Mix dressing ingredients and pour over salad.


It definitely looks delicious :) Oh and I used the olive oil I brought back from Greece. YUM!!
