Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh sweet corn
- 2 whole Avocado
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the corn. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the corn and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender and bright yellow. Remove from the water and allow to cool.
While the corn is cooling, halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully slice the kernels off each cob. Add the kernels to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes and onion.
Pit, peel, and dice the avocados into small cubes. Gently fold the avocado into the salad.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salad.
Juice the limes and whisk the juice with olive oil and black pepper in a small bowl or measuring cup to create a dressing.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocados.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or pepper, if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours and serve chilled.
