Description
A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring sweet corn, creamy avocado, and juicy cherry tomatoes, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn (cooked and cooled)
- 1 ripe avocado (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Start by cooking the corn until tender—this can be done by boiling or grilling, then let it cool. While it’s cooling, dice the avocado. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, finely chop the red onion, and mince the cilantro.
- Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the cooled corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
- Add lime juice and oil: Drizzle fresh lime juice over the mixture. You may choose to add olive oil for an extra layer of flavor.
- Season generously: Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss gently: Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together carefully to avoid mashing the avocado.
- Serve or refrigerate: Enjoy it immediately, or chill for about 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
Notes
This salad can be made ahead of time; just add the avocado right before serving to avoid browning.
