Summer Salad
Tomatoes
Corn (left over ears of corn on the cob if you have them)
Cucumbers
Green Onions
Avocado
Garlicky Croutons (to make this salad gluten free, make croutons with left over gluten free bread)

Creamy Basil Dressing
1 cup Best Foods or good quality mayo
1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 clove of garlic
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Chop ripe tomatoes into chunks. Slice kernels from ears of leftover corn on the cob, or if you don’t have leftover corn, use a bag of sweet frozen corn. Add chunks of cucumber, chopped green onion, chunks of ripe avocado, and croutons and lightly salt and pepper ingredients, then stir all together. Make the dressing and pour over veggies and croutons and stir again. Serve immediately.
