With the unofficial start of summer finally here, I can’t wait for all those picnics, backyard bashes and al fresco dinners. And every great barbecue deserves an extra-special side. That’s why I love this Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad recipe. It speeds to the table in just 15 minutes. And our from-scratch herb vinaigrette really makes it shine.

During the summer months, fresh corn is in abundance and is perfect for this dish. If it’s unavailable in your neck of the woods, simply sub in thawed frozen corn—it will be just as tasty. For the dressing, we whisk olive oil, citrus zest and juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fresh cilantro gives it a bright savory note, but you can try parsley, chives, thyme—or even a blend. It’s fun to mix it up! Toss up a batch for your next gathering, then let us know what you think.
