  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 4 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn and remove silks; rinse under cold water.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook corn cobs for 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp. Drain and let cool before cutting off kernels.
  3. While corn cools, chop avocados, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine corn, avocados, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  5. Drizzle lime juice and olive oil over the mixture; toss gently to coat without mashing the avocados. Taste-test for seasoning adjustments.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to enhance flavors.
