Follow these simple steps to prepare your Summer Corn Salad with Avocado effortlessly:

1. Cook the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and cool before adding to the salad.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the avocado, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion. If using jalapeño for heat, dice it finely as well.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
4. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad.
5. Toss Gently: Carefully toss the salad to coat all the ingredients in the dressing without mashing the avocado.
6. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
7. Chill (Optional): If you have time, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

These simple steps transform your fresh ingredients into a stunning Summer Corn Salad that celebrates summer in every bite.
