Fresh Sweet Corn, Cherry Tomato and Avocado Salad For the salad: 1 cup of rucola (AKA arugula/rocket/jarjeer) 2 cups mixed leaves or greens of choice Raw sweet corn kernels from one ear of corn 1/2 cup cherry or baby plum tomatoes, halved 1/2 an avocado, sliced Toss the rucola, leaves, sweet corn and cherry tomatoes together, then layer avocado slices on top. For the red onion balsamic dressing 1/2 a small red onion, finely grated 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp lemon juice. 1 tsp agave nectar (or maple syrup)* Dash of sea salt and pepper to taste * Any liquid sweetener would work, but agave is best as it has a clean sweet flavour as opposed to molasses which may have more of a distinctive caramel taste. Don’t skip out on grating the onion here, it turns it to this wonderful, almost chutney-like consistency. Whisk together other ingredients and try not to drink the whole thing when you taste-test. Drizzle over salad just before serving.
