Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 large avocado
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by shucking the ears of corn and removing all the silks. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook the corn for about 5 minutes, then remove them and let them cool.
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cob. Transfer the kernels to a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the corn.
Peel and dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Add these to the bowl as well.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.
