Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears of corn, or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed)
- 1.5 cups Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium Avocado, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ears of corn for 3-5 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly before slicing the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply thaw and drain the kernels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and finely diced red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro to the salad mixture for a fresh, herby flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. This will serve as your dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything to coat evenly. Take care not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 1 hour before serving. Best enjoyed fresh.
