The best corn-avocado salsa of all time 🤩
Corn Avocado Salsa
4 ears sweet corn or 4 cups frozen corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 large ripe avocados diced
3/4 cup finely diced red onion 1 small onion
1 small red bell pepper diced
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
Salt and pepper
Cook the corn: Choose one of the following methods:
Grilled Corn on the Cob: Brush husked corn with oil, lightly season, and grill at 400°F. Turn every 3 minutes until lightly charred, about 12 minutes. Let cool, then cut off the cob.
Stovetop Corn (Frozen or Canned): Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a hot pan. Add corn and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
In a large bowl, gently toss together the cooled corn, lime juice, avocado, red onion, red pepper, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste (I add 1/4 tsp each). Gently toss again.

Throwback to about 3 years ago when these cucumber sandwiches stole the show at my sister’s baby shower 🥒✨ People haven’t stopped raving about them since!
I shared the recipe on my social media and website, and guess what? They’ve continued to be a massive hit! 🚀 Seriously, they’re that good. Plus, they’re super easy—just five ingredients and 10 minutes is all it takes to whip up the perfect appetizer, lunch, or snack. Try them out and you’ll get all the hype! 🥪💚
A few tips:
* Make Ahead: Whip up the spread 1-2 days in advance—it gets tastier as it sits!
* Cream Cheese: Go full-fat for richer, thicker flavor. For quick softening, pop it in the microwave.
* Ranch Mix: Hidden Valley ranch adds the best flavor IMO
* Cucumbers: Choose Persian or English cucumbers for the best crisp bite.
* Extras: Sprinkle in some fresh dill, parsley, or chives and a dash of cracked pepper to elevate your sandwich!
