Author Notes

This recipe represents what I love about the end of the summer. Fresh corn in a salad with the last good tomatoes. Some avocado for the creaminess, quinoa to make it more consistent, topped with crumbled feta. A southern-inspired dressing to spice things up. —Charlotte I The Fox + The Knife
