Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears)
- 2 pieces ripe avocados, diced
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cups red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cups cilantro leaves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece optional diced jalapeño (for added heat)
Instructions
If using fresh ears of corn, carefully remove the kernels using a sharp knife. (Alternatively, thaw frozen corn kernels or drain canned corn.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing. If desired, add diced jalapeño to the dressing for extra heat.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocados.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, salt, or pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
