Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large avocado, diced
Instructions
Begin by preparing your corn. If you're using fresh ears of corn, carefully slice the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. You should get about 2 cups of kernels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl, adjusting the amount according to how much heat you prefer.
Gently mix in the chopped cilantro, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the corn mixture.
Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Finally, fold in the diced avocado carefully to avoid mashing the pieces.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt according to your preference.
Serve immediately as a fresh dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.
