Corn, Avocado, Tomato, and Basil Salad

Corn, Avocado, Tomato, and Basil Salad

I was craving something healthy for lunch last week and I went in search of what I had on hand. I found one ear of corn leftover from our dinner the night before, an avocado, some grape tomatoes, a bit of cucumber, and some basil. I tossed it all together with leftover Fran’s Vinaigrette that I had in the fridge. The salad took five minutes to throw together and was tasty fresh, healthy, and delicious. It was a terrific combination of flavors, textures, and colors. This salad was perfect for lunch but if you doubled or tripled the ingredients, it would be a great side dish for lunch or dinner.
