Ingredients

  • 3 ears fresh corn
  • 2 large avocado
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 0.5 small red onion
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 large lime
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the ears of fresh corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is tender but still crisp. Remove the corn from the water and let it cool.

Step 2

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cobs. Place the kernels in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Dice the avocado into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the corn.

Step 4

Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves and add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely dice the red onion and add to the bowl with the corn, avocado, and tomatoes.

Step 6

Chop the fresh cilantro, and sprinkle it over the salad mixture in the bowl.

Step 7

Slice the limes in half and juice them into a small bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the lime juice, whisking it together to create a dressing.

Step 8

Pour the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring everything is well coated with the dressing.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve the Fresh Corn Salad with Avocado and Lime immediately for the best flavor.
