Ingredients

• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 tsp red wine vinegar
• 6 fresh ears of corn shucked
• 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
• 8-10 cherry tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbs EVOO
• 1/2 tsp salt

• 3 cups torn mixed lettuce such as romaine, red leaf and butter
• 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cucumber thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta
• 1/2 cup julienne fresh basil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sugar and 1 tsp of the vinegar to the boiling water. Add the corn and bring the water to a rolling boil. Cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let the corn sit for 10 minutes. Remove the corn from the pot. When corn is cool, use a knife to cut off the corn.

2. Toss the corn kernels, avocado, tomatoes, garlic, the remaining 2 tsp of vinegar, the olive oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

3. Divide the lettuce among four plates. Top each plate with red onion and cucumber. Spoon a mound of the corn mixture on top. Sprinkle with Feta and basil before serving.
