Mexican Corn Salsa and a Beautiful Salad



My husband has been on a Mexican food kick since he arrived home from his last trip. Yesterday he made me plain old beef burritos (our favorite) and whipped up this Salsa as a side/salad/garnish.

It was as beautiful as it was DELICIOUS!

In addition to that, he crafted a simple yet yummy summer inspired salad. It was a memorable meal, and reminded us of Summer on a rainy Fall day!

Salad
Layer Avocado slices, ripe tomato and sweet onion slices

For a quick dressing we used double strength apple vinegar, a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper

Corn Salsa

Roasted corn
diced red and yellow bell peppers
cilantro
banana pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Beautiful salad is right. Avocados are one of our faves! I love Mexico food, too. I've been on that kick all week long.

the salad looks gorgeous, esp with the corn salsa! This could be a great meal in itself!

fact: corn should always be roasted, and ample cilantro should always be included in a salsa such as this. delicious!
