Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (about 3 ears)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the corn by removing kernels from the cob. You can use fresh corn or thawed frozen corn for convenience.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the corn, diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Gently toss to mix.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocados too much.
  5. Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Notes

For best results, use avocados that are ripe but still firm. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy. If you prefer a charred flavor, you can grill the corn before removing the kernels. This adds a wonderful smoky dimension to the salad.
