Ingredients
  

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

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced for heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and boil for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

        Mix it Up: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, sprinkle in the fresh cilantro, and, if you like, add the minced jalapeño for an extra kick. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

            Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro if desired. This salad can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
