Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large avocado, diced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your corn. If you're using fresh ears of corn, carefully slice the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. You should get about 2 cups of kernels.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
Step 3
Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl, adjusting the amount according to how much heat you prefer.
Step 4
Gently mix in the chopped cilantro, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the corn mixture.
Step 6
Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Finally, fold in the diced avocado carefully to avoid mashing the pieces.
Step 8
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt according to your preference.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a fresh dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.
