- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

Instructions
If using fresh corn, blanch the kernels in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and allow to cool. Otherwise, skip to the next step if using canned corn.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, lime juice, and olive oil to the mixture.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately with chips or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
