Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of fresh corn (about 4 ears) – grilled or boiled for sweetness
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved – bursting with sweet juice
1 ripe avocado, diced – for that creamy texture
1 small red onion, finely chopped – adds a nice bite
½ cup of fresh cilantro, chopped – brings a fresh herbaceous note
Juice of 1 lime – for acidity that brightens everything
2 tablespoons of olive oil – helps bring all the flavors together
Salt and pepper to taste – always essential!
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the corn for about 5 minutes until tender. If grilling, char the corn over medium heat until slightly blackened. Allow to cool before cutting kernels off the cob.
While the corn is cooking, slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro.
In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, and cilantro. Gently toss them together.
Squeeze lime juice over the salad, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Taste your creation and adjust lime, salt, or pepper to your liking.
