3. Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to form the dressing.
4. Step 4: Add the toasted bread cubes, roasted corn, 1 large diced ripe avocado, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
