Ingredients

2 1/2 c. fresh corn kernels
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 Hass avocado
kosher salt

3 romaine hearts
1/2 c. very thinly sliced red onion

In a large bowl, toss the cooled corn with the romaine pieces, sliced onion and the 1/2 cup of pecorino cheese. Add the dressing, season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Garnish the salad with shredded cheese and serve right away. Looking for vegetable recipes? Try our best asparagus recipes, eggplant recipes, or zucchini recipes.
