Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Corn: In a large pot, submerge the shucked corn in water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the kernels are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the corn and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cobs. (Total time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the corn kernels, diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, rinsed black beans, chopped cilantro, thinly sliced red onion, and finely chopped jalapeño. (Total time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined. (Total time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Dress and Chill: Pour the lime dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (Total time: 1 hour 5 minutes)

For a smoky flavor, grill the corn before cutting off the kernels.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño.
Adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste.
For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
