Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup frozen corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne
1 medium avocado
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 medium red bell pepper
2 tablespoons red onions, minced
salt

Steps:

  • Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium. Continue cooking for 2 minutes uncovered to evaporate excess water. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Cut avocado into 1/2 inch cubes. (Do this by making 1/2 inch spaced cuts in the avocado crosswise and lengthwise. Be sure not to cut into the skin of the avocado. Then use a spoon to scoop the flesh out.)
  • Put the avocado cubes in a medium bowl. Add lime juice and stir gently. Chop the bell pepper and add to the bowl. Add cooked corn and red onion to the bowl. Gently stir and serve.
  • This salad is best eaten on the day it is made because the avocado tends to darken by the next day.
