A refreshing salad featuring corn and avocados, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Dice the avocado into medium-sized cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. If using canned or frozen corn, make sure it’s drained or thawed completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, add corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and toss gently until everything is coated.
