Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional for heat)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to char slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the charred corn, diced avocados, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their best.

Notes

Choose fresh corn for the best flavor. Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape. Store the dressing separately if preparing ahead to prevent avocado browning. Consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
