Sweet Corn Salad

IMG_9206.jpg

Nothing makes it feel like summer quite like fresh corn. I love the texture and sweetness the uncooked kernels bring to this salad. Not to mention I always feel like I’m in a “rom-con” when I come home from the farmers market with my cute (monogrammed) straw tote full of fresh corn and cherry tomatoes

Ingredients For Salad:

2 small heads Romaine lettuce

10-15 Cherry Toatoes cut into 1/2

3 ears Fresh Sweet Corn

1/4 cup chopped Cilantro

3 Green Onion

4 oz Cotija Cheese

1 Avocado

Ingredients For Dressing:

Juice from one lime

1/4 cup Oil (I used avocado oil)

1/4 cup Red wine vinegar

Salt and Pepper to taste

I like to prep the salads by cutting the lettuce first and placing it in a bowl as my base layer. I feel like this gives me a good idea of how much I need. Start by chopping the romaine and placing it in the bottom of a serving bowl.

Husk the corn and place the ear in the bowl upright. Cut the corn off the cob into the bowl.

Cut an avocado in 1/2 and remove the pit. Then score the avocado into cubes and scoop it out into the bowl.

Cut up a green onion and cherry tomato and place them into the bowl.

Crumble the cheese on top of the salad.

To make the dressing squeeze the juice from one lemon into a small bowl.

Add oil, salt, pepper, and vinegar to lime juice and whisk.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss. This salad is great as a side, or if you add grilled chicken or shrimp, you have dinner. Look at you being healthy and eating your veg! Good for you, darling!
