Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ears corn, preferably yellow, shucked
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved through the stem
1 Holland orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and 1/2-inch-diced
1/2 cup medium-diced red onion
2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and ribs removed, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
2 ripe Hass avocados, large-diced
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 7 minutes, until just tender. Cool for 5 minutes and cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob with a sharp knife. Place the kernels in a large bowl with the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno peppers.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss.
  • In a separate bowl, gently toss the avocados and lemon juice together, making sure the avocado is coated in lemon juice. Add to the vegetables, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and carefully fold together without breaking up the avocados. Sprinkle with salt and serve cold or at room temperature.
