Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Corn and Avocado Salsa.
Step 1
Begin by filling a large pot with water, enough to fully submerge the corn, and bring it to a vigorous boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, introduce the corn and let it simmer for about five minutes, just until the kernels are tender yet retain a satisfying crunch.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the corn and plunge it into a bowl of cold water to halt the cooking process.
Step 4
Once cooled, take a sharp knife and carefully slice the kernels off the cobs, letting them fall into a medium bowl.
Step 5
Next, add in the creamy cubed avocados, vibrant diced red onion, and sweet red bell pepper for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, freshly chopped cilantro, zesty lime juice, smooth olive oil, minced garlic, earthy ground cumin, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a delightful dressing.
Step 7
Drizzle this aromatic mixture over the corn and vegetable medley, and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Step 8
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to elevate the taste.
Step 9
This dish can be enjoyed immediately for a fresh crunch or refrigerated for later, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
Enjoy this vibrant corn salad as a refreshing side or a light meal that captures the essence of summer in every bite.
