Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob, kernels removed
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 whole Lime, juiced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Remove the kernels from the corn on the cob by holding each ear vertically and slicing downward with a sharp knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red bell pepper, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped cilantro and jalapeño to the bowl, mixing thoroughly with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of two limes with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the lime vinaigrette over the corn salad mixture and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Carefully fold in the diced avocado, taking care not to mash it while mixing.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve the salad cold as a side dish or as a main course on a warm day.
