Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (approximately 4 ears of corn)

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 red bell pepper, diced for crunch

1 small red onion, finely chopped for sweetness

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved for freshness

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for herbiness

Juice of 1 lime for zest

2 tablespoons honey for sweetness

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for richness

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili powder for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the kernels are tender. Drain the corn and let it cool down. If you opt for frozen corn, simply thaw it and pat it dry with a paper towel.

    Combine Vegetables: In a sizable mixing bowl, gently combine the cooled corn, diced avocados, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Toss everything lightly to mix, being sure to keep the avocado pieces intact.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili powder (if desired). Mix until the dressing is well combined and smooth, ensuring the honey is fully dissolved.

        Assemble the Salad: Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Add the chopped cilantro and toss everything gently yet thoroughly, ensuring that every ingredient is nicely coated with the dressing.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a beautiful serving platter or individual bowls. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

            Garnish (Optional): For a pop of color and flavor, top the salad with extra cilantro leaves or a sprinkle of chili flakes before serving.
