Ingredients
  

  • 3 ears sweet corn kernels cut off the cob (about 3 cups)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 2 large avocados chopped
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño stem and seeds removed and minced
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Tortilla chips for serving, optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the corn, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, lime zest, and garlic until well blended.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Enjoy it right away as a fresh salad or serve it as a flavorful dip with crunchy tortilla chips.

Notes

 
  • Fresh corn gives this salad the best flavor, but thawed frozen corn or well-drained canned corn works just as well when you're short on time.
  • Using fresh corn? Enjoy it raw for a crisp, sweet bite, or grill it first to add a delicious smoky flavor.
  • Stir in the avocado right before serving to keep it fresh, creamy, and vibrant.
  • Feel free to add more or less jalapeño depending on how spicy you like your salad.
  • Serve it as a refreshing side dish or scoop it up with tortilla chips for a quick and easy appetizer.
  • This salad tastes best the day it's made, but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
