Summer Tomatoes

The tomatoes have been plentiful this summer.
Below is a great recipe for Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad from my daughter.

Pan-roasted corn and tomato salad

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 6 ears corn, stripped of their kernels (2 to 3 cups)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
2 cups cored and chopped tomatoes
1 medium avocado, chopped
2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Heat oil in skillet; add onion and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

2. Put lime juice in a large bowl and add corn-onion mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.
