Ingredients
  

4 cups ripe cherry tomatoes, halved (red, yellow, and black for visual appeal)

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears of corn, cooked and cooled)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or grilled shrimp for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by prepping all the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and bell pepper, finely chop the red onion, and cut the avocado into cubes. If using fresh corn, cook the corn on the cob in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes, then cool and cut the kernels off the cob.

    Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, chopped onion, diced cucumber, bell pepper, and avocado. Be careful while mixing to avoid mashing the avocado.

      Herbs Addition: Add the fresh basil and parsley to the bowl. These herbs will impart a fragrant freshness to the salad.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as desired.

          Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients and ensure they are evenly coated.

            Serve: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese or add grilled shrimp for a protein boost.

              Enjoy! Garnish with an extra sprinkle of herbs or a few fresh cherry tomatoes for an attractive presentation.
