Lettuce-less Summer Salad

I went through a serious salad phase. At one point, I was just tired of lettuce. This lettuce-less salad is a great summer-time complement to any main course. Or add some protein and make it your main course. Salmon or shrimp make great toppers.

How to Make It:

  • 3 Roma tomatoes

  • 1 orange bell pepper

  • 1 very ripe avocado

  • 1 fresh ear of corn

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese

  • 1 lime

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Chop the tomatoes and bell pepper into bit sized pieces. Dice the avocado. Scrape the corn from the cob. Add chopped cilantro and crumbled goat cheese. Squeeze in lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Then toss it all. It's important that the avocado is very ripe because it blends with the lime, salt & pepper to make a wonderful fresh dressing.
