Notes
- Frozen, fresh, or canned corn (well drained) can be used; fresh or grilled corn adds extra flavor with no required cooking.
- Add grilled chicken or cooked chickpeas to make the salad a full meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days.
- For best texture, add avocado and grape tomatoes just before serving to prevent mushiness or browning.
