My dinner plate looked so yummy I had to take a picture for you all. Sunday afternoon I put some ribs in the oven and slow-cooked them for a few hours.
I also made a recipe called Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salad.
I wanted to share it with you because it was so delicious and perfect for summer.
For the Salad:
4 ears of corn, kernels removed (about 3 cups)
1-1/2 pounds of grape tomatoes halved ( I used regular fresh tomatoes
STRAIGHT OUT OF MY GARDEN)
1 pound of fresh mozzarella, diced
2 medium avocados, diced
For the Dressing:
1 1/2 cups packed fresh cilantro
1/2 cup good -quality extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper to taste.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a blender, process until smooth.
Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving,
or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
I found this recipe in a recent issue of Food Network Magazine.
I have a confession to make. I bought the fresh mozzarella and can you believe I completely forgot to put it in the dish. I couldn't believe I did that. It was good without it so if you want to leave it out you can. Now I have to figure out something to make with all that cheese....
I added a little watermelon on the side and I have to tell you it was just a really good, simple summer meal.
Let me know if you decide to make the salad. I hope you like it!
Happy summer eating

Yo' dinner ain't got nuthin' on mah cupcakes, girlfriend! Rawr! ;-)
Yum! How can you go wrong with those ingredients?! I'll have to try it. It's very close to cowboy caviar. Some black beans would be yummy in it.
Oh Yum! I love corn, tomato AND avocado! I think I may be drooling just a little bit.
That salad looks exactly like one I would enjoy, I'm going to make this.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll come back for your garden posts. I love touring gardens too! I'm going to DC in 2 weeks. My husband picked out a garden for me to tour! I can't remember the name now but I will blog about it.
I think there is nothing so peaceful as touring gardens. I'll be posting the other homes I toured too. I love finding inspiration in others gardens.
YUMMY!!!!
Thanks for the corn salad recipe! I printed it out and I'm gonna make it this week!!
Yummy! We had ribs last night and they were delicious, if I say so myself!
I'm not much on avacado, so I don't know if I'd like your salad -but it certainly looks yummy!
My husband would really think I'd flipped if I took a picture of my food before I ate it!
Oh my word!! That salad looks amazing. I'm off to the grocery store for the avocados!!
That sounds good!

Salad looks delicious but I would have to replace the corn as it has too much starch. Ribs are a favourite.
Joy..
