I served this recipe to my friend who came over to taste test some of my recipes. She said this was her favorite, and that I needed to name it something really special because she thought it was fabulous. Well, I am. I am naming it after my fabulous friend Sheila!

Ingredients

1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced finely
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/3 cup torn basil leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cup white or yellow corn
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped raw cashews
2 cup chopped tomatoes, cored and stemmed

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the olive oil, sherry vinegar, and mustard.

Place the salad in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to mix. Serve chilled.
