Ingredients

• 4 medium ears corn (white or yellow), cut off the cob ((3.5 cups/485 grams))
• 2 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered ((400 grams))
• 1 cup diced red onion ((120 grams))
• 1 large large avocado, diced ((165 grams))
• 1 jalapeño, diced ((take out the seeds for less heat))
• 1/2 cup packed cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup lime juice ((about 1-2 limes))
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Remove your corn kernels from the cob. Prep the corn by removing the husk and excess silk. Cut off a small piece of the cob so it is able to stand upright. Place a small bowl upside down in a large bowl. Next, place the cut end of the cob on top of the smaller bowl, standing it upright. Then, using a sharp knife, run it along the cob to remove the kernels. Rotate the cob until all sides are cut.
2. Make the corn salad. Add the corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper to a large bowl. Toss to combine. Adjust according to taste.
3. Enjoy!
