It has been a few years since my last post. Let's see, what have I been up to? Well we had a baby in 2014 and she is now 3 years old. My mother came from Texas to meet the baby and she fell in love, found a reason to feel productive and has stayed to live with us. We could not be happier! So today I was trying to plan what to make for lunch and I thought, ok I will make a pork shoulder in the instant pot with pineapple and guajillo chiles. Then I thought, well what side can I make that would go well? A corn salad that has lime, avocado, cilantro yum! So here is my concoction, feel free to make it yours and add or take items to your liking.
3 Cups Corn (frozen or grilled corn on the cob) thawed and at room temperature
1/2 Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
1/2 Red Onion if large, if not then you can use two small ones (chopped)
2 Medium tomatoes chopped
1 Large Hass Avocado in cubes
1 Jalapeño pepper chopped (deveined and seedless if you don't want the heat)
Good handful of cilantro chopped
The juice of a lime or two (to taste)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Mix everything together in a bowl and enjoy. Remember to taste after the lime juice and salt and pepper. Enjoy!
I will post the recipe to the pork shoulder later this week.
