Bursting with summer produce, our delicious salad is simple and shows off the fresh flavors of corn, avocado and tomato.
Directions:
In a large sauté pan over high heat, warm the butter and olive oil until nearly smoking.
Add the corn and sauté, stirring occasionally, until just tender and lightly browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl combine the cooled corn, avocados, lettuce and tomatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the lime zest and juice, vegetable oil, honey and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the salad with the cotija, garnish with the basil and serve immediately.
