Lake, Family, Food

Tomato Corn Avocado Salad

Finally a new (to me) recipe. It tastes like summer.

  I often have all the ingredients on hand.

It only takes minutes to put together.

We paired the salad I made with Boars Head snack packs 

of meat and cheese and wedges of pita for 

the easiest porch dinner for two before we headed to the lake.

TOMATO, CORN, AVOCADO SALAD

1 large ear of corn--cook and cut off kernels

1 medium avocado, diced

1-1/2 cups diced cucumber

1 cup halved grape tomatoes

2 tablespoons diced onion, red or white

2 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I used lime)

salt and pepper to taste

Let corn cool. Then toss with remaining ingredients. 

Serve immediately. 

Want a peek at our lake time? Keep reading...

Notice anything new? Lots and lots of green grass. 

We had to replace the lake wall and pier over the winter. 

When that was finisbed, we had to redo the yard!

There was more food on the way for our annual July 4th gathering.

There were cousins everywhere. 

This was only one side of the porch.

It's good to see each other at least once a year.

Our family stayed longer.

Little Lady got to touch her first fish!

And she saw her very first rainbow. 

She had a very special week.

There was lots of lake time.

Thank goodness for the lake. The temps were scorching all week.

Little Brother had the most fun walking by himself between the cabins. 

We can see from porch to porch.

"Goin' to Daddy-O's house. Be right back!"

Storms and rain cooled us off a couple of nights. 

Another family lake stay is in the books.
