Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the corn by removing kernels from the cob. You can use fresh raw corn for maximum crunch or lightly char it in a skillet for extra flavor.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the corn, diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño if using.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocados too much.
  5. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired and serve immediately. For best results, let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. You can prepare the dressing and chop vegetables ahead of time, but add avocados just before serving to prevent browning. For smoky flavor, grill the corn before cutting off kernels.
