Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh sweet corn
- 2 whole Avocado
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the corn. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the corn and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender and bright yellow. Remove from the water and allow to cool.
Step 2
While the corn is cooling, halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully slice the kernels off each cob. Add the kernels to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes and onion.
Step 4
Pit, peel, and dice the avocados into small cubes. Gently fold the avocado into the salad.
Step 5
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salad.
Step 6
Juice the limes and whisk the juice with olive oil and black pepper in a small bowl or measuring cup to create a dressing.
Step 7
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocados.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or pepper, if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours and serve chilled.
