Salt & pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1.Start by grilling ears of corn on a
hot grill. They’ve
already been cooked by the steaming process, so they just need to be slightly
charred to add flavor.
2.Halve avocado, rub cut side with
olive oil and place on grill. Grill for a few minutes, until grill marks show.
3.Using a sharp knife, cut kernels off
the corn and into a bowl. Cool.
4.Meanwhile, chop chives and basil,
and halve cherry tomatoes, if using. Using a spoon, remove avocado from skin
and cube.
5.Combine corn, avocado, cherry
tomatoes and herbs in a bowl. juice a lime over the top of everything and
drizzle generously with a good quality olive oil. Gently fold together, taking
care not to mush the avocado. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper and
serve.
