    Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

    Combine the salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, zucchini, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.

    In a blender, combine 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Dress the salad

    Drizzle the creamy avocado dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately.
