Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the avocados into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, take the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add the halved tomatoes to the bowl with the avocados.
- If using fresh corn, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it under cold water. Add 1 cup of corn kernels to the mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients. The red onion will add a nice crunch and a bit of sharpness to the salad.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salad mixture. This will not only add flavor but also help prevent the avocados from browning.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together using a spatula or large spoon. Be careful not to mash the avocados; you want to keep the salad light and fresh.
- Once everything is well combined, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice, salt, or pepper based on your preference.
- Serve the Avo Tomato Corn Salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
