1 ½ cups fresh or frozen corn

1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup green onion, chopped

1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, cubed

1 cup cilantro, chopped

1/3 cup apple cider or red wine vinegar

½ lime, juiced

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Notes:

• Use seasonal corn off the cob instead of frozen for even more flavor and freshness

• Add tomatoes and avocado to the salad just before serving to preserve their color and texture

• Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days (with tomatoes and avocados added at time of serving)

• Works great for a satisfying entrée, side salad, taco filling, or salsa/dip
