Description
It’s easy to appreciate nature’s bounty and to choose unadulterated whole plant-foods when they are in season. Corn and tomatoes are at their peak in the summer so this is a perfect Fourth of July (plant-based, oil-free) side dish.
Ingredients
3 cups corn (cooked and cut off the cob, or defrosted frozen if not in season)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 a large or 1 small avocado, diced
Juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon, to taste
Salt, to taste (nutrition information is for 1/2 a teaspoon)
Instructions
Cook corn (steam in the microwave or boil in a pot) and cut off the cob. Let cool. Mix with rest of ingredients. Be sure to taste before adding salt and to only add 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Serve room temp.
Notes
Tomatoes don’t usually do well in the fridge so don’t add the tomatoes until the last minute if cooking ahead of time. In fact, it’s a great idea to cook the corn ahead of time and then leave it in the fridge until you are ready to finish making the salad.
