Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Avocado (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the corn: If using fresh corn on the cob, remove the kernels by standing the cob upright on a cutting board and slicing downward with a sharp knife. Measure out 2 cups of kernels.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.
If using avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add the diced avocado to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the tomatoes or avocado if included.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
