Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the corn and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn for a charred flavor - simply brush with olive oil and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The acidity of the lime will help prevent the avocado from browning while adding a bright, tangy flavor to the salad.
  3. Once the corn has cooled slightly, cut the kernels off the cob. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Gently toss to combine.
  4. Pour the lime dressing over the corn and avocado mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top just before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. Prepare this salad just before serving to maintain the avocado's texture and prevent browning. Fresh corn makes all the difference in this recipe.
