Ingredients

• 2 ears fresh corn
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 small red onion
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by shucking the ears of corn and removing all the silks. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook the corn for about 5 minutes, then remove them and let them cool.

Step 2

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cob. Transfer the kernels to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the corn.

Step 4

Peel and dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Add these to the bowl as well.

Step 5

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 6

Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salad.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.
