Guacamole Salad

On a hot summer day, all I want is a refreshing salad.

Ingredients: (serves 3 people)

1 Roman Lettuce, chopped

2 Cucumbers, chopped

2 Tomatoes, chopped

1 small purple onion, sliced

10 olives, pitted

1/2 cup corn or 2 corn on the cob, grilled

1 green pepper, sliced

2 Ripe Avocados

Dressing:

1/4 cup Cilantro, minced

2 tbsp Olive Oil

2 tbsp Lemon Juice (can be adjusted to taste, start with 1 tbsp)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Prepare dressing beforehand and place in a bowl or mason jar on the side. Mix well.

2. Chop and slice all vegetables as directed above, and place in a bowl.

** I highly recommend grilling corn cobs on a gas stove top and then slicing them on a cutting board to top with your salad. Alternatively, canned corn will also taste great.

3. Make sure the avocados are ripe. A ripe avocado will give a delicious creamy texture to the salad when mixed. Slice the avocado in half around then pit (inside seed), then with a knife, gently press into the seed, turn counter clockwise and the seed should be released.

Remove the avocado inside and slice to create a design as above or cut into cubes and add to your salad.

4. Add dressing to salad and mix well.

This is a salad, so you are welcome to add, remove, and adjust dressing amounts to your liking.

Enjoy, Sahteen!
