This salad came about as a way of using up leftover corn – there’s always a few ears lingering in the fridge after a barbecue and here’s a good way to use them up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the salad:
\n2 ears of corn
\n1 cucumber, peeled
\n1 red pepper
\n1 small red onion
\n2 tomatoes
\n1 avocado
\n1 tablespoon fresh basil
\n1 cup chick peas, rinsed well<\/p>\n
Cut the corn off the cob over a large mixing bowl. Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and slice.
\nDice red onion, tomatoes, and avocado and add to the corn and cucumber. Make a chiffonade with the basil leaves, add to the bowl along with the chick peas.<\/p>\n
For the vinaigrette:
\n3 ounces olive oil
\n1 ounce champagne vinegar
\n1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
\n1 tablespoon mayonnaise
\n1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder
\nsalt and pepper<\/p>\n
In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper.
\nStore in a jar, and shake well before dressing salad.<\/p>\n
