Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
- 1 small jalapeño (finely diced, seeds removed for less spice)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup optional crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes or until the corn is slightly charred and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the lime juice, red onion, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the roasted corn kernels and mix gently to combine.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or black pepper as needed.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
