Summer Salad

Here's a recipe for a quick, light summer salad.  We had it this weekend and it was delicious.  Since it was made for a party for 25 people (remember that when reading below), the proportions would need to be adjusted for fewer people.  I'd figure an ear of corn for 2 people.

10 ears of corn, boiled and cut from the cob
2 packages of grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup of cilantro
1/2 of a red onion
1 avocado, sliced into small pieces (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Dressing:
The juice of 6 limes
Approximately 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 table spoons sugar or Splenda

Combine all of the salad ingredients together, mix in dressing and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serves approximately 25 people

It started as just something that I wanted to do and has become something that I do.  Everyone in our family is known for something, be it an outrageous moment, a good recipe or a both.  Well, I've become famous for my chocolate covered pretzels.

So, just a little toot of my own horn at the product from this weekend, which I consider to be a great quality for the price (free of charge to the recipient) since I just Googled the price and it's about a dollar a pretzel online.
