For a smoky flavor, lightly grill the corn kernels before adding them to the salad. Add a pinch of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat. To prevent avocado from browning, toss it with lemon juice immediately after dicing. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.

Feb 26, 2025Super simple to throw together and tastes amazing! I didn't have any red bell pepper, so I used orange, and it was still great.
