Avocado Corn Salad Moosewood Recipes

AVOCADO-CORN SALAD (MOOSEWOOD RECIPE)

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium. Continue cooking for 2 minutes uncovered to evaporate excess water. Remove from heat and cool.
• Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Cut avocado into 1/2 inch cubes. (Do this by making 1/2 inch spaced cuts in the avocado crosswise and lengthwise. Be sure not to cut into the skin of the avocado. Then use a spoon to scoop the flesh out.)
• Put the avocado cubes in a medium bowl. Add lime juice and stir gently. Chop the bell pepper and add to the bowl. Add cooked corn and red onion to the bowl. Gently stir and serve.
• This salad is best eaten on the day it is made because the avocado tends to darken by the next day.
