I could eat this Fresh Corn, Tomato, and Avocado salad every day during the summer! It's packed with summertime flavors and super healthy, too! This makes a wonderful Labor Day recipe for picnics and potlucks - after all, who wouldn’t love to eat a corn, tomato, and avocado salad with shrimp or black beans??

Instructions
  1. Pan-fry, steam or grill the shrimp until they are pink, 3 – 4 minutes total (or thaw them if using cooked shrimp).
  2. Combine all the ingredients except the shrimp in a large serving bowl. Serve the shrimp on top of the salad.
Recipe Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Cook and refrigerate the shrimp, halve the tomatoes, steam the corn if necessary and remove the kernels, or fully prepare and refrigerate the salad.

Scramble Flavor Booster: Add 1/4 tsp. celery seeds or cumin and 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice to the salad.

Tip: Corn can be considered nature’s sunglasses.  It contains zeaxanthin and lutein, important antioxidants that help break down the sun’s harmful rays that can damage eyes over time.
