GARDEN-FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, tomato, green onion, cucumber, herbs (don't skimp on the herbs!), radishes, and jalapeño.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until blended, then pour it over the salad. Toss to combine.
• Add most of the feta or avocado (reserve some for garnish), and gently toss. Taste, and add more vinegar for more tang (I usually add another full tablespoon), or salt for more overall flavor. Garnish with the remaining feta or avocado.
