PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD



Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad image

You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped

Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste

2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt

Steps:
