Sweet Corn, Tomato, and Avocado Relish

2 ears corn, husks and silk removed
2 vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
2 avocados, pitted and diced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper

In a large pot of boiling water, cook corn until tender (about 4 minutes). Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob. In a bowl, add corn, tomatoes, avocados, onion, parsley, 2 tbsp. oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

We served the relish on tilapia, but the original recipe called for salmon. It is also good with grilled chicken breasts. A great summer dish with fresh vegetables from the garden! :)
