Usually my new recipe ideas come from the leftovers I have in my fridge. That’s where this one came from! I wanted something more than a lettuce based salad and when I went to my fridge today these are the ingredients I found. And, what do you know… this tomato, avocado, and corn salsa salad is just about the most delicious I’ve ever made!

I ate a whole plate of this as my lunch but it would also be a great side dish to some spicy grilled chicken breast! Healthy and delicious!!!
This is what I used to make my one plate. It might serve two people as a side dish. But if I’m one of those two people you should probably double it! ‘Cause this is now my favorite salad!
Tomato, Avocado, and Corn Salsa Salad
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 small avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup corn salsa
- freshly ground black pepper
- cilantro to garnish
I think this corn salsa is the secret ingredient! (BTW, Trader Joe’s is NOT a sponsor… I just like shopping there.) A friend brought it over last week and I’ve been eating it on chia chips and in taco bowls… also both delicious!
I served this on my favorite salad plates by the Pioneer Woman!

That is a lovely colorful salad. Somehow fetta cheese adds so much to make a salad delicious.

Leftovers are great to create some delicious meals such as this one. I love the sound of this salad and I don’t mind without the lettuce. Thanks for joining Fiesta Friday and I hope you’ll come back again.

Looks tasty. Doesn’t everyone throw leftovers into salads? In Maine, we have SUCH long winters, leftovers get thrown into soup (often a can of “storebought” to start with) and is called “mystery soup.” An acquaintance called it “enthusiasm stew” caz he threw everything he had into it!

Yep… I use my leftovers in soup during the winter.

ourgettes are zucchini but any squash will do, passata is like thick tomato juice – so tinned tomatoes in the blender would work too (or very well cooked de-skinned fresh tomatoes blended). Hope you love it as much as we do… all my recipes are vegetarian so hopefully you can find some other yummy foods to try too! 🙂
