Zesty Avocado Salad

After eating a big bowl of homemade vegetable soup, I was craving something fresh and raw. So I looked in my refrigerator and put these simple ingredients together. But don't let the simplicity of this salad fool you. I was surprised to find it bursting with flavor and extremely satisfying! (This is why you should always have lots of fresh, raw foods in your fridge... you never know what tasty meals you can create!)

Zesty Avocado Salad

(Vegan, almost raw)

1 avocado, chopped

1 large tomato, chopped

1/2 cup organic corn (Raw is ideal, frozen (but thawed) is next best, or canned... but make sure you get organic or else it will have GMOs in it)

Lemon juice

Chili powder

Cayenne pepper

Salt

Toss the avocado, tomato, and corn together. Squeeze some lemon juice on top (from the lemons you always keep in your fridge because they are so good for you & great additions to salads and smoothies :) ). Season with chili powder, a dash of cayenne (more if you want it spicier), and salt (if your corn is salt free). Add beans for a heartier and more filling salad. Sprouts would also be a welcome addition. :)
