A vibrant and refreshing salad perfect for summer gatherings, featuring sweet corn, creamy avocado, and a zesty lime dressing.
Ingredients
4 ears corn
2 medium avocado
2 medium tomatoes
1 can black beans
1/2 cup cilantro
1 small onion
1 small jalapeño
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
Method
Start by placing corn in a large pot and covering it with water. Bring to a vigorous boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the corn and allow it to cool before carefully cutting the kernels off the cobs.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooled corn kernels with diced avocados, chopped tomatoes, black beans, finely chopped cilantro, diced onion, and minced jalapeño for a fresh flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lime zest, and fresh lime juice. Pour this dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.
