Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained)
1 large avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Dressing Ingredients
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Toss the salad: Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating without mashing the avocado.
Serve immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the salad right away, avoiding letting it sit too long to prevent the avocado from browning.
Notes
Use fresh corn kernels for the best taste, but canned corn works well as a convenient alternative.
To keep the avocado from browning, toss it quickly with lime juice before combining with other ingredients if desired.
This salad is best served fresh and does not keep well for long periods due to the avocado.
Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeño.
