Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 cup sweet corn (fresh, grilled, or canned)

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1 jalapeño, minced (optional for extra heat)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the avocados, halving the cherry tomatoes, and finely chopping the red onion and cilantro. If you’re using fresh corn, grill it for a few minutes until slightly charred, then cut the kernels off the cob.

Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado pieces.

Add Feta and Jalapeño (if using): If you’re using feta cheese and jalapeño for some extra flavor and heat, sprinkle them over the top and lightly fold into the salad.

Chill and Serve: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve immediately as a vibrant side dish or a light lunch.
