Ingredients
✓ 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
✓ 2 ripe avocados, diced
✓ 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
✓ 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
✓ 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ Juice of 2 limes
✓ Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
✓ Prepare the Corn – Start by husking the corn and removing any silk or damaged sections. Place the corn on a large pot filled with water, and bring it to a boil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
✓ Once cooked, remove from the pot and let them cool in cold water. This step helps retain their sweetness and makes peeling easier.
✓ Cook the Avocado – While the corn is cooling, slice the avocados into cubes. To prevent browning, mix the slices with a bit of lime juice. Keep the avocado slices aside until ready to assemble the salad.
✓ Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes – Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
✓ Assembly Combine All Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn kernels with the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
✓ Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper according to taste. Gently toss all ingredients until well combined.
✓ Final Touches – Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. A few more dashes of lime juice or a bit more salt can make a big difference. Serve immediately for the best texture, but this dish also keeps in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
Corn should be cooked just until tender to retain its natural sweetness. Use fresh avocados and add lime juice immediately after slicing to prevent browning.
