Tomato, Corn, and Avocado Salad

This salad is beyond simple. What makes it work is using the very best and freshest ingredients possible. We love this with the Smoked Paprika Flank Steak that I recently posted. There is nothing as delicious as fresh summer "Jersey" corn in this. Tiny, sweet, little, uncooked kernels.
Not quite time yet....but soon!
I happened to have some red pepper in the fridge when I made this this first time so I have added it almost each time I made it. Not necessary though. I had to stop myself from embellishing it even further...black beans, cilantro...the list goes on. I think the absolute simplicity of this dish is what sets it apart....
