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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the lime juice, red onion, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the roasted corn kernels and mix gently to combine.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or black pepper as needed.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
