I had an idea to create this super easy and refreshing salad with ingredients I already had in my fridge and pantry and it did not disappoint! A simple can of corn along with an avocado, tomatoes, cotija cheese and a few other add ins for flavor and crunch is all this salad needed to be the star of the table! Tossed with my easy honey lime vinaigrette and this bowl of salad was a winner! It’s the perfect salad for your picnics this summer as it goes with everything. Toss some grilled chicken in for a complete meal!
