Summer is in full swing, and my garden is providing a bountiful crop of tomatoes and cucumbers. If you don’t have a veggie garden, this is a great time of year to explore your local farmer’s market. This is a simple salad to showcase some of that beautiful summer produce.

Summer corn & avocado salad

• 2 ears sweet corn, grilled, roasted, or steamed
• 1.5 c small tomatoes (grape, cherry, pear), cut in half
• 1/4 c thinly sliced red onion (or sweet)
• 1 c cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 avocado, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 T chopped fresh cilantro
• Juice from ½ lime
• ¼ t cumin
• Salt & pepper to taste (substitute cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!)

Stand corn on end to cut kernels from cob. Toss ingredients together in bowl. Makes about 4 servings. (Don’t have access to a grill? Simply thaw frozen corn and toss it in!)
