Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears)
• 2 pieces ripe avocados, diced
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups red onion, finely diced

• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh ears of corn, carefully remove the kernels using a sharp knife. (Alternatively, thaw frozen corn kernels or drain canned corn.)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing. If desired, add diced jalapeño to the dressing for extra heat.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocados.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, salt, or pepper if necessary.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
