Juicy, ripe fragrant fruit with a sweet dressing - summer bliss bite after bite. These compositions live in the dessert category of my brain.

One of the more popular examples of this is watermelon, feta, and mint. You probably know the combination well. Peachy corn succotash tacos with lentils + basil slaw. Pin it! Pin it!

Charred Corn and Avocado Salad with Lime, Chili, and Tomato recipe on Food52.com. Author Notes: This is a simple and delicious summertime salad to have up your sleeve. When creating it, I intended to grill the avocado, corn, poblano, and red onion but then turned to my broiler instead. Broiling is a much underappreciated method of cooking in my opinion, and it works beautifully for this salad.
Using the broiler versus the grill enables you to easily char the corn off the cob and the avocado, poblano and red onion in small pieces, resulting in more surface area to pick up that delicious charred flavor. It’s also incredibly easy -- all you have to do is preheat your broiler and assemble your ingredients on a sheet pan, with the avocado needing the least amount of time under the broiler. (If grilling, I'd recommend charring the corn on the cob and the red onion, poblano, and avocado in large pieces, then cutting them to size off the grill.)

I love buying fresh produce, loading my kitchen benchtop with the ingredients I'm going to use, rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.
What I love about making salads is that I'm using the fresh colourful ingredients, and I think Damien Pignolet said it so well in his latest book: "Composing any dish (...) calls for understanding of what constitutes balance". Pignolet refers cooking to composing classical music, because "the instruments employed by a cook in creating a dish are the chosen raw material woven into balance as governed by our sense of taste. " This particular salad is not by Pignolet, although I am sure to cook many recipes from his wonderful new book Salades.
