Avocado and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad with Roasted Corn and Cashews

Nothing beats a colourful vibrant salad!

I’m a creature of habit when it comes to my own day-to-day eating, and could eat the same standard combos on repeat! But I love trying new things and experimenting with ideas when entertaining – this creation born out of my head, did not disappoint!

It looks so gourmet, but could not be easier to put together! It’s also so versatile – perfect alongside chicken, fish, a vegetarian meal or top it with some feta (or any protein of your choice) and you have a complete meal.

Feel free to switch up the nut too – don’t have any cashews? Roasted salted almonds or pecans would be delicious too! P.s. I actually forgot to add the nuts until after I took the pics 🤦🏻‍♀️ but roasted salted cashews were added after.
