Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh sweet corn (approximately 3-4 ears), kernels removed

1 ripe avocado, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional for additional heat)

Juice of 2 fresh limes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

Crumbled feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a medium-sized pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the corn kernels and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until tender and vibrant. Drain the corn and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse the kernels under cool water.

    Chop the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine the diced avocado, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeño (if using). Gently mix with a spoon to avoid mashing the avocado.

      Mix The Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.

        Combine: Add the cooled sweet corn kernels to the bowl containing the chopped vegetables. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad, then gently toss everything together using a large spoon or spatula. Take care not to over-mix to preserve the integrity of the avocado.

          Serve: If desired, generously sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for an added creamy flavor. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to enhance the meld of flavors.

            Enjoy: This salad can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. It makes a delightful side dish for gatherings or a refreshing light lunch option.
