Fiesta Corn Salad

July 8 2015 by Jessica Leave a Comment

A crisp, crunchy salad with all the flavours of summer.

Fiesta Corn Salad

Barbecue season is upon us. Whether you are hosting a barbecue or looking for something to bring, this is the perfect party dish. Just look at this salad – yellow corn, rosy red tomatoes, black beans, red onion, ripe avocados, and fresh cilantro – doesn’t it just look delicious. Excuse me while my mouth waters.

I made this salad for dinner the other night. We all loved the bright colours, even my daughter wanted to try it right away. It’s a feast for the eyes, but it tastes even better than it looks. (Don’t you love when that happens!) We were all reaching for seconds and thirds that night.
