Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 medium jalapeño, seeds removed and minced (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cumin for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. You can use a sharp knife for this. If you’re using canned corn, simply drain it and set aside.

    Combine the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, chopped red bell pepper, diced red onion, and minced jalapeño. Gently toss the ingredients together to avoid mashing the avocado.

      Add Herbs and Seasoning: Stir in the fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice of both limes over the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin (if using). Mix gently, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary.

        Chill (Optional): For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld. You can also refrigerate it for a stronger flavor, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

          Serve: Enjoy your Zesty Corn and Avocado Salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled meats!
