Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by shucking the corn. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Set the kernels aside in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the corn.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the salad.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into bite-sized chunks. Add to the bowl.
Zest the lime and then juice it. Combine the zest and juice with olive oil in a small bowl. Add salt and black pepper, whisk together, and pour over the salad.
Gently toss all the ingredients together, ensuring the avocado is well coated with the lime dressing to prevent browning.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld.
