Ingredients

• 3 ears fresh corn
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 avocado

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes until the kernels are tender-crisp. Drain and let them cool.

Step 2

Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cob. Transfer the kernels into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the corn.

Step 4

Finely dice the red onion and add to the bowl. This will add a nice crunch and flavor balance to the salad.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl for a burst of fresh aroma and taste.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together gently to combine.

Step 8

Peel and dice the avocado, and gently fold it into the salad, taking care not to mash it.

Step 9

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

Step 10

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
