It was Blogger’s Choice for today’s recipe swap. I was assigned to Amy’s Kitchen Creations. I saw the chicken pot pies and had my heart set on making them. Then, time got away from me and I realized that there was no way I would ever have the time to prepare that dish in time for the swap reveal!
Thank goodness she has so many recipes to choose from! I came upon the corn, avocado, and tomato salad and knew that it would be perfect. I had a ton of corn to use up from the CSA and we had a bunch of ripe cherry tomatoes that were begging to be used in our garden!
I loved how easy this was to make! I ended up doubling the recipe because I had so much corn to use up. Now, I have a bunch of delicious leftovers to get me through the next few days π
Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad
slightly adapted from Amy’s Kitchen Creations
11 ears corn, cooked and kernels cut off
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 avocados, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

I love this and would add some chopped jalapenos.

Great idea! I’ll have to remake this when our jalapenos finally start growing!

I think chopped jalapenos would make a great addition. I am glad you loved it, my Husband and I sure did. Now I want to make it again! π
