Fresh corn, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado make a fantastic combination in this refreshing salad. The dressing's so fabulous, you’ll be making it all year long. This salad features pan-roasted fresh corn but to save time, feel free to substitute canned corn and omit the cooking. Or you can grill the corn while barbecuing another time. For variation, you could easily turn this recipe into a salsa by omitting the lettuce and dicing the avocado, tomato, and onion and tossing them with the corn mixture. If you go that route, serve the salsa with chips or spooned over seared chicken or fish.
