Ingredients

• 3 ears corn (or 2 1/2 cans of corn)
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved through the stem
• 1 orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and 1/2 inch diced
• 1/2 cup medium-diced red onion
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and ribs removed, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 tsp chipotle chile powder
• 2 ripe avocados, large-diced
• juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 7 minutes, until just tender. Cool for 5 minutes and cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob with a sharp knife. Place the kernels in a large bowl with the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno peppers.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chile powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss.
3. In a separate bowl, gently toss the avocados and lemon juice together, making sure the avocado is coated in lemon juice. Add to the vegetables, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and carefully fold together without breaking up the avocados. Sprinkle with salt and serve cold or at room temperature
