Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard depending on how tangy you want the dressing
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the salad:

  • 3 to 4 ripe avocados cubed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 3 small Persian cucumbers* sliced and cut in half
  • corn cooked; I used 2 ears of corn
  • fresh basil garnish
  • 1 to 2 lemon wedges
  • Maldon sea salt flakes optional (it's a finishing salt)
  • tortilla chips

Instructions

  • For the dressing: Whisk together all of the ingredients and set aside.
  • Combine the avocado cubes, tomatoes, cucumbers and corn in a large bowl. Gently toss together and squeeze a little fresh lemon over the top. Drizzle (start with a little) the dijon vinaigrette over the top and mix again. You might not need all of the dressing. Serve and garnish with fresh basil and sprinkle on some Maldon sea salt flakes (optional). Enjoy with tortilla chips!

Notes

*English cucumbers are also great
