1 ear of corn
1 long English cucumber

1/2 avocado
2 cups fresh strawberries
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Steam the corn by boiling water in a large pot. Add the ear of corn (or use a steamer basket) and cover for about 5 minutes until tender.
While the corn steams, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and avocado. Crumble feta cheese if using and chop fresh basil.
Once the corn is done cooling slightly, slice off the kernels into a bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine corn kernels, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese (if included), and basil.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving or enjoy immediately.
