Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn or 2 cups frozen and 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
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn cobs and cook for 3-5 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. Cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the lime dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
