Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the red onion finely, and cube the avocado. Shred or tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and cubed avocado. Gently toss to combine.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Gently fold the salad to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated without mashing the avocado.
Add the fresh basil leaves to the salad and toss lightly to distribute the herbs throughout the dish.
If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for added creaminess and tang.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Corn and Tomato Scramble Gourmet Summer Salad!
