A refreshing, colorful side dish combining sweet corn, vibrant veggies, zesty lime dressing, and creamy avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6–8 ears)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed red, yellow, green)
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. If using fresh corn, shuck and slice kernels off the cob; if frozen, thaw and drain.
  2. Chop cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and cilantro.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cilantro.
  5. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Gently fold in diced avocado just before serving.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for up to 1 hour for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can use canned or frozen corn if fresh isn’t available.
  • Substitute cilantro with parsley or omit if preferred.
  • For a tropical twist, swap avocado with diced mango.
  • To make it spicier, add jalapeño or extra chili powder.
