SIMPLE CORN SALAD Ingredients

  • 2-3 cobs of corn
  • 1-2 Tbs of butter (substitute olive oil if you prefer)
  • 2-3  avocados
  • 1 handful of chopped cilantro
  • 1-2 handfuls cherry tomatoes
  • 1-2 limes
  • 1/4 red onion or white onion
  • salt
  • pepper

Summer Corn Salad easy Directions

1. With a sharp knife, slice the corn kernels off the cob (you can slice them right into the sauté pan). Sauté over medium heat until some of the kernels begin to lightly brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (This part can be done ahead of time. Just store the cooked corn in the fridge). 

2. Roughly chop the cilantro, cut the tomatoes in half, dice the avocado, and finely dice the onion (as finely as possible). Combine all these ingredients into a large bowl.

3. Add the juice of 1-2 limes to the other ingredients.

4. Add the sautéed corn. 

5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Optional: Sprinkle a small palm-full of feta cheese over the salad. If you live in Ontario, try 'Bon Feta', which you can get at the Big Carrot and other organic/higher end groceries.
