Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the shucked and cleaned corn on the cob. Let the corn come back to a boil for about one minute. Turn the heat off and let the corn sit for five minutes. Take the corn out and immediately place in an ice bath. When cool cut the corn of the cob into a large bowl.
  • Add the mozzarella, tomatoes, black beans and basil to the corn. Slowly, add the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine. Add the avocados, salt and pepper at the end and be careful not to over mix or mash the avocado.
  • Serve in a medium-size bowl. The recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger crowds
