edamame, corn and tomato salad

recently i attended an event and this was served. i don't want to give you high expectations so that you're disappointed, but it was probably the most refreshing and tasty dish i have had all year. i loved it. everyone around me was going back for seconds...and, in some cases, thirds.

3/4 C frozen corn kernels
1 1/2 C frozen shelled edamame
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 large avocado, cubed
2 T fresh lime juice
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1 T canola oil
2 T chopped fresh cilantro

1) bring a saucepan of water to a boil and have ready a bowl of ice water. add the corn and edamame and cook for 3 minutes. drain and transfer to the bowl of ice water. let sit for a few minutes. drain and add tomatoes and avocado.

2) in a small bowl whisk together the lime juice, salt and pepper. slowly whisk in oil. pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. garnish with cilantro.
