Ingredients
  

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

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup creamy dressing (such as Greek yogurt or sour cream)

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Remove and let it cool before cutting the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply thaw and drain it.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, diced avocado, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and halved cherry tomatoes.

      Create the Creamy Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the creamy dressing with lime juice, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency by adding more dressing if desired, or a bit of water for a thinner mix.

        Combine: Pour the creamy dressing over the corn mixture and gently fold to combine, ensuring the avocado maintains its shape.

          Add Freshness: Stir in the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

            Chill & Serve: Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes in the fridge to let the flavors meld. Serve it chilled, alongside tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos.
