The avocado is a versatile ingredient. Creamy, sweet and wholesome, at my house we eat avocados almost every day. While guacamole is our favorite, go-to recipe, we also regularly incorporate this fruit in salads. The avocado's sabor pairs well with almost everything. This salad in particular is special because it brings together the sweet and delicate sabor of the roasted corn with the acidity of the citrus dressing. The crunch of the cabbage perfectly complements the texture of the avocado. It's easy to prepare roasted corn year-round, when you have a few cans on hand in your pantry.

    Spread the kernels (and chiles) on a baking sheet, drizzle with the tablespoon of oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to evenly coat the corn, and spread out again on sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the kernels have roasted.

    When the corn is ready, remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes.

    Wash, peel, and cut the avocado, carefully adding it to the veggie mix. Incorporate the cooled, roasted corn and carefully mix the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with dressing.

Expert Tips
