Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 whole large ripe avocado
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh corn. If using fresh corn on the cob, carefully slice the kernels off the cob to measure two cups.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, approximately 0.5 cm cubes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Finely dice the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves coarsely.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red onion. Stir gently to mix.
Add the diced avocado into the bowl with the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top.
Juice the limes and pour the fresh lime juice over the salad.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients, and then season with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well mixed, ensuring the avocado retains its shape as much as possible.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately for maximum freshness.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
