A vibrant salad featuring fresh corn, creamy avocado, and juicy cherry tomatoes, perfect for summer dining.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn (cooked and cooled)
- 1 ripe avocado (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Begin by cooking your corn until tender and letting it cool completely. Meanwhile, chop the avocado, slice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the cilantro.
- Mix the veggies: In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. Create a colorful, inviting blend.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle lime juice over the mixture, followed by olive oil if you choose.
- Season: Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Toss with care: Gently toss the mixture to combine all ingredients, taking care not to mush the avocado.
- Serve smart: Enjoy immediately for the best texture, or for deeper flavor, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld beautifully.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Prep all the ingredients several hours in advance and combine just before serving to keep the avocado fresh.
