Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 medium ripe avocados diced
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels can use canned or frozen, thawed
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 medium lime juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for sweetness

Method
 

Prepare the Ingredients
  1. Start by dicing the avocados into bite-sized pieces. Use a sharp knife to cut around the pit, twist to separate, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. This ensures minimal bruising of the avocado.
  2. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it under cold water. For frozen corn, thaw it completely.
  3. Dice the red and green bell peppers and finely chop the red onion and cilantro. This adds color and crunch to the salad.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisking emulsifies the oil and lime juice, creating a smooth dressing.
Combine the Salad
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, corn, bell peppers, red onion, and cilantro.
  2. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocados; you want to keep them intact for texture.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if desired.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy this salad chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The avocados may brown slightly, but the flavors will still be delicious.
