Avocado and Corn Salad

Avocado and Corn Salad
Serves: 4

This salad is so light and refreshing you could eat it with a spoon in a bowl (as I did!) or serve it with anything! It has a crunch from the fresh corn, a creaminess from the avocado, and a brightness from the lime and cilantro, its a perfect salad!


Ingredients:
2 fresh corn cobs
2 avocados
1/2 small onion
juice of 1-2 limes
handfull chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

I was too lazy to pull out a grill pan, so I just put the corn directly over my gas burner, turning every minute or so until the kernels became dark yellow and slightly charred on the outside.



After you've cut corn kernels off, mix in with diced avocados, onion, lime juice and salt and pepper. My avocados were really ripe so be sure to toss gently to avoid mashing them.


Chop the cilantro


Add your onion.

Mix in. Check your seasonings.


Cool in fridge, and enjoy! Its so light and fresh tasting it can be eaten with anything. I'm serving it with chipotle marinated grilled chicken thighs.
