How to Make Avocado Corn Salad Moosewood Recipe
- Combine 1 cup corn kernels, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder in a small saucepan.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 2 minutes, or until excess moisture has evaporated.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- While the corn mixture cools, cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the avocado cubes in a medium bowl and gently toss with 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
- Chop 1/2 of a medium bell pepper (any color) and add it to the bowl.
- Add the cooled corn mixture and red onion to the bowl.
- Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Avocado will brown if left out for too long.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
