Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn shucked + cooked, or about 2 (15oz) cans of corn.
  • 3 avocados diced.
  • 1 lb cherry/grape tomatoes sliced in halves or quarters.
  • 1 small red onion diced fine.
  • ⅓ cup cilantro roughly chopped.
  • 2 limes - juiced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flake optional
  • 1 jalapeno diced (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare your corn by either grilling it or boiling it, then cutting it off the cob into kernels. If you're using canned corn, drain and rinse it.
  • Place the corn in a bowl, then add in diced avocado, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro (and optional jalapeno).
  • In another bowl, whisk together the lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, and chili flakes.
  • Drizzle the dressing over top of the corn salad mixture and toss until well combined.
  • Let chill in fridge for at least one hour, I prefer at least 4 hours so flavors have time to combine.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature.
