Chicken Avocado and Sweetcorn Salad

Submitted by everydaychef

"I was once fortunate enough to go on a trek in Indonesia, where the guide provided us lunch which consisted of local fruits and vegetables. He showed us a simple technique using the avocado which was to halve it, slice it within its skin and then add salt and lemon juice. Since then, I have always insisted my avocado is prepared in this same way as it really brings out the flavour in a spectacular way."
