In the summertime, there is nothing better than fresh corn on the cob. We buy fresh corn at our Farmers Market almost every weekend during the summer and it only gets better as the weeks go on. For Memorial Day this year, I wanted to make a tasty dish to kickoff summer. This corn and avocado salad was the perfect summer side dish for the cookout we went to. It was so good that I made it again the next night for dinner club.
