Benefiting from my kitchen

One of my fellow blogger friends is always talking about being in the kitchen and how spending more time there can really benefit your cooking skills if you happen to lack in that department. Well surprise... I do some serious lacking in the cooking department. I have great decorating skills for the part of the house but actually using that space... it mainly collects dust (not really, I keep it clean, but you get the picture). Recently, however, my dear friend let me in on an easy little recipe, Corn Salad. Since trying it out I have taken the time to visit my kitchen more often and have made Corn Salad every week thus far. I think my poor boyfriend is ready for my friend to share a different recipe- now that I've mastered this one.

{Here we go- On a hot grill, grill your corn (I used 3 ears, and we got about 4 servings). About 3-4 minutes before flipping it around. I don't really have a science when I'm out on the grill, get them toasty and char'd up!}

{While the corn is grilling - Thinly slice 1/2 red onion. Half or Quarter about 1 pint of grape tomatoes. Chop 2 avocados, to be roughly the same size as your tomatoes. Slice 1 lemon for juice.}

{Trick: Let corn cool first - they get hot! ;) & to easily cut corn off the ear, get a large bowl, place a small bowl upside down in center. The large owl will catch everything and the small is a great balance point - All the goodies fall where they need to! (remove small bowl when done....obviously, but just checking!)} 

Don't act like you're not impressed :)
