Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 ripe avocado, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

Juice of 2 limes

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn ears and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and then slice the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply thaw and drain before using.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño.

      Create the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Mix Together: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients while being mindful not to mush the avocado.

          Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice to your liking.

            Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a colder option.
