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.
