Notes
- Substitutions:
- Substitutions:
- Corn - Use fresh, frozen, or canned! Just boil or grill fresh corn on the cob before removing kernels.
- Onion - You could also use a yellow onion.
- Oregano - Substitute 1 tablespoon fresh for the 1 teaspoon dried.
- Apple Cider Vinegar - You can also use rice wine vinegar or white vinegar.
- Olive Oil - You could use another neutral oil like canola or vegetable, but I think that the flavor of a good extra virgin olive oil is best.
- Make Ahead:
- Make Ahead by mixing all ingredients except avocados, cover, and put in the fridge. This can be done 1 day in advance. You can make the dressing up to 4 days in advance. Add avocados right before serving.
