Heirloom Tomato & Avocado Salad

COOK TIME: 5 MINUTES | MAKES 4 SERVINGS

When it comes to ingredients, Americans crave tomatoes, avocados, and corn. So we put them together in this garden-fresh salad. This summery combo makes a wonderful meal on its own, or you can pair it with everything from Mushroom & Black Bean Birria to Butternut Squash & Pineapple al Pastor. 

11⁄2 cups sweet corn kernels (about 2 ears sweet corn)

1⁄2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon, plus 1 tablespoon

avocado oil, divided

1 teaspoon Homemade Taco Seasoning (page 61, or store-bought)

1 pound heirloom tomatoes, cut into roughly 1-inch cubes

2 avocados, pitted and cut into roughly 1-inch cubes

1⁄2 red onion, slivered

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 cup Chamoy Sauce (page 38, or store-bought), plus more for topping

Add the corn to a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring as the kernels begin to char and pop a bit. Let them color for a couple of minutes, then put them in a large bowl.

While the pan is still hot, add the pumpkin seeds and let them toast, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Put the pumpkin seeds in a small bowl with
1 teaspoon of the oil and the taco seasoning and stir well to combine. Set aside.

Add the tomatoes, avocados, onion, salt, and the remaining tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the corn, then toss gently to combine. Add the chamoy sauce and toss again.

Serve, topping each portion with an extra drizzle of chamoy and some of the pumpkin seeds.

—Heirloom tomatoes are readily available at farmer’s markets and most grocery stores, but if you can’t find any, vine-ripe tomatoes will work just fine for this recipe.
