Instructions
Creating the Avocado Corn Tomato Salad with Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing can be an enjoyable process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure the avocados are ripe for easy dicing.
2. Cook Corn (if using fresh): If using fresh corn, boil or steam it for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool. If using canned corn, simply drain it.
3. Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced avocados, corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion if using.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, mix the lime juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss to coat all vegetables evenly without mashing the avocados.
6. Adjust Flavor: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
7. Chill (optional): For a refreshing touch, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls, garnishing with additional cilantro if desired.
These straightforward steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this incredible, flavorful salad.
