When you need a side for a friend’s cookout…

This one is always a crowd pleaser, easy to throw together and adapt to your particular tastes. It’s a good go-to recipe for a summer side. Plus…corn, basil, tomato, avocado! It’s such a delicious way to throw together summer’s bounty, especially here in Indiana, where there is rarely a shortage of corn!

Enjoy!
