Ingredients

Salad

1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
1 Avocado halved, peeled, pitted and diced
1 cup Cucumber diced
1/4 Red Onion halved and sliced
1 cup Whole Corn Kernels drained
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley cilantro or fresh herb, finely chopped

Dressing

2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Fresh Lime Juice adjust to taste
1 tbsp Honey
2 cloves Garlic minced
2 tsp Italian Seasoning or herb blend
1/2 tsp Salt more or less to taste
1/4 tsp Black Pepper more or less to taste

Instructions

Prep all salad ingredients - halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, corn kernels, and chopped parsley or cilantro. Add ingredients to a medium-large sized salad bowl.
Drizzle salad with olive oil and lime juice; then add minced garlic, cayenne pepper (optional), Italian seasoning, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine, allow to sit for 15 minutes to allow flavours to meld, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Chop each ingredient into similar-sized pieces so it can incorporate well.
Do not over mix the ingredients, all you need is a gently toss. If you mash the avocados, you'll end up with guacamole!
Feel free to add leftover produce from the fridge to this salad.
Taste test before serving and make adjustments if necessary.
