Corn, Cucumber, Tomato Salad with Avocado and Lime Dressing

This is one of my favorite picnic salads! It is cold, creamy and super satisfying. It comes together quickly with very simple ingredients that in the summer I almost always have in my fridge. If you don’t have something on hand, just swap it out for what you do have!

Ingredients:

1 english cucumber, seeded and chopped into 1/2” pieces

1/2 red onion, minced

3/4 cup jicama, peeled and chopped into 1/2'“ pieces

10oz. frozen corn, thawed

2 medium avocados (or 1 1/2 large), chopped

2 limes

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered or halved

1/4 tsp. cayenne

Kosher salt to taste

Directions:

1. Chop all ingredients to approximately even sized pieces.

2. Squeeze juice of both limes over salad. Add chopped avocado. Season with salt and cayenne, stirring well to combine. The avocado will break down, adding a creaminess to the salad.

3. Taste and adjust the salt/pepper and lime.

*Best when given at least an hour to sit before serving. Serve chilled or room temperature.
