I'm on day 8 of the 17 day diet (I know, I know...but it has been a good way to hit the "reset" button on my eating habits). I am already making plans for day 18. First up is my favorite summer salad. I'm going to eat a Jethro-sized bowl of it. Probably add some whole wheat pita chips too. I . cannot . wait.
Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad (slightly adapted from a Paula Dean Recipe)
- 2 cups frozen corn (I like Trader Joe's corn)
- 1 avocado, cut into cubes
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
Add the following dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
The pita chips are easy too. Cut the pitas into triangles, drizzle with olive oil, and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with jane's crazy mixed-up salt and bake at 400 until crisp.
