Ingredients
4ears raw cornyou can grill it or blanch it for a minute if you prefer
4peachesat other times in the year I make this with champagne mangos
2avocados
juice of 1 + lime
*4 + ounces cotijaricotta salata or manouri cheese (optional)
¼cupbasil leaves sliced thinchiffonade
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonpepper
2tablespoonsolive oil
Instructions
Slice the kernels off the corn and into your picnic container.
Dice the peaches and avocados into similar sized pieces.
Juice the lime over the salad.
Slice the basil into thin strips.
Add salt, pepper and oil. Fold gently so as not to mash the avocado.
*Top with crumbled cheese if you like. I love manouri; it’s a Greek sheep’s milk pressed cheese. It’s really rich and not salty, but I only learned about it this year. So every Summer before now, I made this with cotija or ricotta salata. And they’re all good. Just make sure you know how salty your cheese is before you salt the salad. Then you can adjust. Or you can leave it out altogether if you're serving other salads that have dairy. Totally your call.
