- Add the remaining ingredients and then pulse until it's combined into a creamy texture. Your avocado cilantro lime dressing is ready!
Notes
- Using the canned corn helps keep this recipe super quick. However, if it's summertime, for the best flavor, you can use fresh corn. Check out this recipe for microwave corn on the cob to get it ready in no time.
- The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
