A fresh, vibrant salsa combining smoky grilled corn, creamy avocado, and zesty lime, perfect for summer gatherings and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Husk the ears of corn and remove silk strands. Brush each ear lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until evenly charred with some blackened spots.
  4. Remove corn from grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Stand each ear upright on a cutting board and slice the kernels off to yield about 2 cups.
  5. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, scoop out flesh, and dice into ½-inch pieces. Place in a mixing bowl.
  6. Finely chop red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using) and add to the bowl with avocado.
  7. Add the grilled corn kernels to the bowl.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  9. Pour the dressing over the salsa and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
  11. Let the salsa rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

If fresh corn is not available, frozen corn kernels can be grilled in a skillet after drying well. To prep ahead, grill corn a day in advance and store kernels refrigerated; add avocado and lime juice fresh before serving to prevent browning. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Adjust jalapeño amount to control heat. Let salsa rest before serving to deepen flavors.
