This is one of the most filling, tasty, and pretty salads I've had in a long time! Makes a great meal or side dish, served with some grilled chicken. I was surprised that the avocado lasted for a few days too. It must have been because of the lime juice and oil in the dressing! So it makes a great left-over meal!
Ingredients
- 1 cup halved heirloom grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 ears shucked corn
- 1 medium white onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 jalapeño pepper

Preparation
- 1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- 2. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand 10 minutes.
