Green Salsa Minus the Nightshades

This salsa is great if you want to avoid the nightshade plants (especially tomatoes and peppers as these appear in most other salsas). The dressing gives it a zing, the avocado is creamy and the corn adds sweetness. It is perfect for barbecues, Mexican food and great with grilled fish, chicken and seafood dishes.

Ingredients:

150g sweet corn kernels (either tinned or fresh, removed from cob)

½ cucumber, seeds removed, diced

1 medium avocado, diced

3 spring onions, sliced

Dressing:

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp lemon juice

½ tsp honey

½ tsp garlic granules (or ½ clove, finely diced or minced)

1-2 tbsp flaxseed oil

1 tsp water (or sweet corn water if using tinned)

Salt and pepper

Method:

Simply whisk the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and once emulsified, add all of the other ingredients. Mix well. Done!
