Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 medium Fresh jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
Instructions
Start by preparing the avocados. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced avocado in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add the halved tomatoes to the bowl with the avocados.
Finely chop half a medium red onion and add it to the salad bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
If you prefer a spicy kick, finely chop one fresh jalapeño, removing the seeds if desired, and add it to the salad.
Add one cup of corn kernels to the bowl. If using frozen corn, thaw it beforehand.
Drizzle two tablespoons of lime juice over the vegetables in the bowl.
Add half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.
Gently toss the salad ingredients with one tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring everything is well combined.
Wash and roughly chop the romaine lettuce to create a fresh, crisp base for the salad.
Serve the guacamole salad over a bed of chopped romaine lettuce for added texture and freshness.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning or lime juice if necessary before serving.
