Summer Corn and Avocado Salad#
The wife asked for a summer-y salad so I went looking on the internet as I do. I saw a lot of similar ingredients over and over and thought, I can do that. This is the result. A lighter salad with summer fruits and flavours. You’ll notice the amounts of the veggies and fruit aren’t specified. Adjust it as you see fit for your own balance.
