    Eating your colors is easy with this delicious summer salad. Sure, you can use frozen corn and enjoy it anytime of year, but it is at it's best when corn and tomatoes are in season.

    And grilling always makes everything taste better.

    Bonus: this salad is so easy. Just grill up the corn and red onions while you are grilling your main course and prep the salad while you let the meat or poultry rest.

    Ingredients for Corn, Tomato Avocado Salad

    Fresh is best in this salad.

    You can use frozen or canned if the ingredients aren't in season. If you do, toast the corn kernels and onions in a skillet a little to give them some color and caramelization. And consider using fire roasted tomatoes (drained) to add a little smokiness back in to the dish.

    • fresh corn
    • butter (or oil of your choice, butter flavored coconut oil keeps the flavor but is vegan)
    • red onion (or white, yellow or green)
    • cherry or grape tomatoes (or larger tomatoes, chopped)
    • avocado (optional, I guess)
    • fresh parsley (or other fresh herb like basil or cilantro)
    • fresh lime or lemon juice
    • salt and black pepper
