Avocado, Tomato and Corn Salad

I have been eating this super healthy and delicious salad all summer long. It combines all the flavors I love in the summer: tomatoes, basil, avocado and fresh corn. I made this for my family recently and they went crazy for it, so I thought I would share it here too. When I first served it, I served it over a flank steak but I think it is hearty and tasty enough that is stands up all on its own.

Stone Fruit Salad with Burrata

You know what the secret to a delicious salad is? (Haven't you always wanted to know the answer to that burning question?) Adding something sweet.

I think it is a complete yeah - especially with all of the delicious stone fruit that is coming into season.  Combine that with some creamy and dreamy burrata and you are in salad heaven.
