Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
Mash the avocados using a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency - chunky or smooth.
Dice the medium tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Chop the red onion finely until you have half a cup and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves roughly and add half a cup to the avocado mixture.
Juice two tablespoons of fresh lime juice and pour it over the ingredients in the bowl. This will not only add flavor but also help prevent the avocados from browning.
Finely dice the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat if desired, and add it to the mixture.
Add the quarter teaspoon of black pepper and half a teaspoon of garlic powder to the mixture.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add one cup to the bowl.
Add one cup of cooked or fresh corn kernels to the mix.
Peel, seed, and dice one large cucumber and mix it into the salad for added crunch and refreshment.
Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over all the ingredients in the bowl.
Toss all the ingredients gently to combine, ensuring the avocado and lime juice coat everything evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust lime juice and black pepper as necessary.
Serve immediately or chilled. This salad is perfect as it is or can be served with low-sodium tortilla chips.
