Corn, Tomato & Avocado Salad/Salsa

I've used this as a salad and dip with tortilla chips.  Very fresh and tasty!


Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Mom via internet

2 ears fresh corn, husk & silk removed
Lime, juiced
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, diced
1-2 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Grill corn over medium heat turning as necessary for 10 to 15 minutes (or boil for 9).  Cool enough to handle and cut corn off cobs.  I like to take the back side of the knife and rake it over the cob after I cut the kernels off.  It gets my favorite part of the corn out of the cob, the sweet little bits trapped inside.  Place in a medium size mixing bowl and set aside.  In a small mixing bowl or salad dressing bottle mix lime, oil, honey, salt, pepper, garlic and cayenne.  Add tomatoes, avocado and cilantro to corn and pour dressing over the colorful veggies.  Gently mix and serve as a side dish or appetizer with tortilla chips.
