My tomato plants are producing like crazy right now, so I've been making plenty of cool summer time dishes that involve tomatoes. This salad can have as many or as few tomatoes as you like. Whenever I have to take a large quantity of something to a potluck, I always turn to this salad because the recipe doubles or triples easily. It's perfect for outdoor events and it pairs well with just about anything off the grill from burgers to fajitas. Because corn is the main ingredient, you want high quality taste and crispness. Make sure to buy Del Monte Summer Crisp corn in the canned foods sections for the best results.
Also, this is a great one for kids to help with!
Corn Salad:
2 cans Del Monte Summer Crisp corn
1 avocado, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup purple onion, chopped
juice of 2-3 limes
Salt to taste
Drain the corn and toss with cilantro, tomatoes, onion, and lime juice. I add plenty of salt. This salad tastes best if it can sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. Chop and add in the avocado right before serving.
