Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 lime
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain the corn and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Finely dice the half red onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the salad mix.
Once the corn has cooled, add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Juice the limes and pour the juice over the salad. Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together, ensuring the avocado and lime juice are evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as preferred.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to enhance the flavors before serving.
