Fresh Corn and Mango Salad
Description
The salad starts by slicing fresh sweet corn kernels off the cob, which provides a juicy, sweet base. Adding diced mango adds tropical sweetness, while the diced yellow and orange bell peppers contribute crunch and bright color. Halved cherry tomatoes and minced red chili pepper bring mild acidity and heat, balanced by the sharpness of red onion and freshness of cilantro.
The dressing is a simple combination of rice vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, and avocado oil, lightly seasoned with kosher salt. Tossing everything together produces a lively salad with a balance of sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy notes. It can be served immediately or chilled for up to two days.
This mix is suitable as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled foods or as a light snack on warm days.
