Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears of corn)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. Toss the corn kernels with olive oil. Grill or broil the corn for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the charred corn, diced avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño (if using).
  4. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Gently toss everything together to combine.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can grill the corn on the cob before cutting off the kernels.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can char the corn in a dry skillet over medium-high heat.
  • This salsa is best served fresh.
