Both corn and avocados are native North and South American foods. This variation on Midwestern corn relish works as a side, a sauce or a salsa. Try with pork or chicken or to liven up leftover sliced turkey. For a south-of-the border taste just stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder. For an Asian variation use curry powder. 

Celebrate winter with Chilean Hass Avocados and fresh citrus. Grapefruit, oranges and limes or lemons are perfect complements to the rich taste and texture of avocado. All of them are a perfect match with crisp slices of fennel. Together they're an unbeatable flavor team.

This easy salad travels well, so pack it up for a pot luck, tailgate or big game event. 

Spinach, toasted almonds and bits of dried cranberries are tossed together in a bowl and dressed with a sweet and tangy vinegar and oil dressing full of sesame and poppy seeds.
