Avocado, Corn and Tomatillo Salsa

Prep Time: 20m | Total Time: 20m | Serves

 

This medley of creamy avocado, crunchy corn and juicy tomatillos has a light, delightfully fresh taste. Its chunky texture makes a colorful topper for grilled fish, fish tacos or chicken, and it’s simply divine in a big burrito salad bowl. Or keep things simple and scoop it up with something substantial and crunchy, like a tortilla chip, a slice of cucumber or a stalk of celery.

This recipe makes about 4 cups of salsa; if you’re serving salsa (or avocado) lovers, you might want to double up!

Ingredients

2 ripe Earthbound Farm Organic Avocados (peeled, pitted and diced)
2/3 cup fresh corn kernels, from about 1 ear (or frozen Earthbound Farm Organic Sweet Corn, thawed)
1 ripe Earthbound Farm Organic Tomato (small size, diced)
1/2 cup Diced fresh tomatillos
1/4 cup finely diced Earthbound Farm Organic Red Onion
1 red or green jalapeño (seeded and finely diced, or to taste)
2 tablespoons minced fresh Earthbound Farm Organic Cilantro (or Italian parsley)
1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
  Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Directions

Place the avocado, corn, tomato, tomatillos, onion, jalapeño and cilantro in a bowl.

In another small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice and salt. Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture and stir gently to coat. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
