Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 large avocado
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling a large pot of water. Once boiling, add the ears of fresh corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the kernels are tender. Remove the corn and let cool.

Step 2

While the corn cools, dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Place all of these into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels off each cob and add them to the mixing bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 4

Peel and dice the avocado, then gently fold it into the salad mix to prevent it from mashing.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined and coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a fresh and vibrant side dish.
