Food & Drink From Amanda Wills, your About Food & Drink Editor To keep my girlish figure extra girly for summer, I commit to eating only salads for lunch. But sometimes creativity is lost on me when it comes to jazzing up the greens. Luckily, my search for a not-so-boring salad yielded surprisingly delicious results. Corn Avocado Salad This salad is great because of its versatility: It can be served on a bed of greens, or as a salsa. The texture of this dish is also nice, with crunchy corn and creamy avocado, and the hint of spice really is the cherry on top. Ole!
