Ingredients
Scale
Salad Mixture
- 1 (11.1-ounce) Fresh Express® Farmhouse Ranch Chopped Salad Kit (excluding dressing)
- 1/4 cup canned corn, drained
Avocado
- 3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
Dressing
- Farmhouse Ranch Dressing from the Fresh Express® Farmhouse Ranch Chopped Salad Kit
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the drained canned corn with all the ingredients from the Fresh Express® Farmhouse Ranch Chopped Salad Kit except the dressing. Mix thoroughly to blend all components evenly, then set aside.
- Score the Avocados: Remove the pits from each avocado half. Using a knife, lightly score the inside of each avocado in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. This helps to create texture and makes the dish visually appealing.
- Assemble the Avocados: Spoon the prepared salad mixture generously onto each avocado half, filling the cavities where the pits were removed. Ensure each half is well topped with the mixture.
- Add the Dressing and Serve: Drizzle the Farmhouse Ranch Dressing over the topped avocado halves just before serving to maintain freshness and creaminess. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and tangy flavors combined.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for best results so they hold their shape when filled.
- Fresh corn can be substituted for canned corn for added sweetness and texture.
- Prepare the salad mixture just before serving to maintain freshness and crispness.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to avoid browning of the avocado.
- Can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or light lunch.
