Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, grill, boil or steam it until tender. Cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro.
- Dress the Salsa: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Mix Gently: Pour the dressing over the corn and avocado mixture. Gently toss until everything is well combined.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang, or a pinch of salt and pepper if you prefer.
- Chill (Optional): For best flavor, cover the bowl and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
