Serves: 4

Ingredients:

2 large ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed

A medium red onion, halved and cut into thick slices

1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 large avocado, chopped

¼ c. fresh parsley, roughly chopped

3 T. fresh lime juice

*Tip: If fresh corn is not in season, substitute 1 cup frozen sweet corn prepared according to package instructions.
