This salad is great as-written in the recipe card, but it would also be great with chopped red onion, bell pepper, crispy shallots<\/a>, juicy tomatoes (cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes), fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, etc.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, the dressing can be made and stored in the fridge. The corn can be cooked and kept in the fridge. And most of the other fresh ingredients can each be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, just mix together when ready to eat. Also, be sure to wait on cutting the avocado until serving so it doesn’t turn brown.<\/p> <\/div> Fresh avocado will turn brown fairly quickly after cutting into the skin. It can still be eaten, but doesn’t look great. Therefore, it is best to wait until serving to cut an avocado!<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Made this recipe and loved it?!
