Raw Vegan Recipe | Avocado Corn Salad

It was the perfect day to go on a long walk with my little shih tzu Miso in DC and spend my Sunday morning enjoying 70 degree fall weather at Fresh Farms market in Dupont Circle. It was my first trip to this particular farmers market. We have several in the DC-area but obviously the farmers, producers and vendors vary with each location so it’s nice to be able to compare the different options.

I couldn’t resist grabbing some sweet corn, gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, fragrant arugula, edible flowers, juicy nectarines, peaches and plums. Being at a farmers market is like being a kid in a candy store except it’s even better than that because there are free samples everywhere!  Not to mention it’s a much healthier alternative. I had to remind myself that I just went grocery shopping for the week 2 days ago, but it’s so hard for me to resist fresh produce and those samples get me every time – I end up loving everything I try and end up buying it!

I was inspired by the fresh sweet corn to make a raw salad for dinner. So simple to make! Sweet corn, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, fresh cilantro, avocado, garlic and lime juice.  I ate this as a meal but it could easily be used as an appetizer, condiment or topping. This raw avocado corn salad is the ultimate summer meal. I was very happy and satisfied with these refreshing flavors, cilantro and lime juice are a match made in heaven!
