Ingredients

  • 1 can corn Note 1
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice or more to taste
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • a bunch of fresh cilantro or parsley or a mixture of both, Note 2
  • 1 small jalapeño Note 3
  • fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Drain and rinse the corn. Place into a bowl.1 can corn
  2. Chop the onion finely and cut the tomatoes into fine cubes. Mix with the corn.1 red onion + 2 medium tomatoes
  3. Chop the avocado into similar-sized cubes, mix well with the lime juice, and add to the bowl.1 ripe avocado + 1 tablespoon lime juice
  4. Add the grated garlic clove, oil, and chopped herbs. If using, add the finely chopped jalapeňos as well.1 garlic clove + 2 tablespoons olive oil + a bunch of fresh cilantro or parsley + 1 small jalapeňo
  5. Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if you like. Taste and add more lime juice if necessary. Mix everything very thoroughly.fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. Tip: My avocado was very ripe, and that's why it almost disintegrated while stirring. After the initial annoyance, I found that excellent; a very creamy, very yummy dressing.

Notes

  • Cooked corn on the cob is excellent; it just takes a bit longer to cut it off the cob.
  • Herbs: Fresh cilantro, parsley, or a combination of both are delicious yet very different in flavor. Cilantro is not a universally popular herb; only use it if you are sure you like it.
  • Jalapenos: I use them when available. Otherwise, I add some heat with red chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
