Creating the perfect Summer Salad With Corn, Strawberries & Avocado is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters.
2. Cook the Corn: If you’re using fresh corn, cook it briefly in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.
3. Dice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into cubes.
4. Chop the Onion and Cilantro: Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro to add vibrant flavor and color to the salad.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the strawberries, corn kernels, diced avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), and salt and pepper. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
8. Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust the seasoning or dressing as desired.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad right away for the freshest flavors, or chill it for about 10 minutes before serving if you prefer a cooler dish.
