Roasted-Corn-and-Avocado-dip6Need a quick, fresh, and healthy appetizer for a late summer get-together? This yummy Chunky Salsa with Roasted Corn, Avocado and Tomatoes is definitely a winner!

Our local farmers market has been overflowing with ripe tomatoes and fresh corn on the cob, resulting in an abundance of them in my wonderful CSA (community supported agriculture). In an effort to use up all my tomatoes before they went bad, I chopped up several, shaved the corn off the cob, threw in some avocado and beans with a little lemon juice and salsa and called it lunch for Josh.

Roasted-Corn-and-Avocado-dip1 He ate it with tortilla chips and said it was great! That’s sorta his standard reply when I ask him what he thinks of my latest food creation. I’m constantly trying to get him to tell me what he would change or do different next time. Rarely does he give me anything, instead he picks the if-he-knows-what’s-good-for-him supportive route and tells me he wouldn’t change a thing.

I will say, beware, this snack feels so clean and healthy, that it was easy to just eat and eat. But I guess there are a lot worse things to munch on uncontrollably seeing as the beans, avocado and fresh veggies pack a lot of nutrition into this finger-food snack.
