Fresh Corn Salad

This recipe was given to me by a friend that brought it to a potluck supper. And it was a hit. It is unusual, healthy, and delicious! Measurements of ingredients may be changed according to your needs or taste. This will keep for several days in the fridge.

Ingredients:

• 3 ears of sweet corn, uncooked
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, diced
• 1 avocado, diced (ripe but firm)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup lime juice (or lemon)
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cut kernels off of corn cobs. Dice red onion, tomatoes, and avocado. Combine in a large bowl. Add olive oil, lime or lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill and serve.

Helpful tip: Use an electric knife to cut the kernels off the corn cob. Just stand it up in a small cake pan, and hold the top. Cut from top to bottom, rotate and repeat around.
