Creamy Avocado Corn Salad
This avocado corn salad is a perfect summer dish. It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The creamy avocado and sweet corn are a perfect pair and the red onion and cherry tomatoes add a bit of crunch and acidity. The cilantro and lime juice add a brightness to the dish, and the olive oil brings it all together. This salad is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob.
I first had this salad at a potluck a few years ago. I was immediately drawn to the vibrant colors and the fresh, summery flavors. I asked the person who made it for the recipe, and she was happy to share it with me. I've been making this salad ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I love that it's so easy to make and that it can be tailored to my own tastes. Sometimes I add black beans or grilled corn to the salad, and sometimes I use a different type of dressing. But the basic recipe is always the same. This salad is a reminder of summer, and it's a dish that I always look forward to making.
