Little Sprite with an Appetite

Avocado Salsa

Ingredients:
​
2 avocados
1 small can corn, drained and rinsed
1 large tomato, diced with seeds removed
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 of a jalapeño, finely diced
​
Dressing:
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Pinch of dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Pinch red chili flakes
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup olive oil
3 TBSP red wine vinegar
​
Prepare your dressing:
​
1) In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Set aside to allow the flavours to blend.
​
Prepare veggies and assemble:
​
2) Drain and rinse can of corn. Dice the tomato, removing the seeds and gelatinous membranes (if you skip this step, your salsa will be "juicy" rather than chunky). Dice bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño. Finely chop the cilantro. Mix together well. Do not dice and add the avocado until ready to serve for optimal freshness!
​
3) Dress and toss the salsa. When ready to serve, dice avocados and gently incorporate. Taste test and adjust seasonings as desired. Enjoy with your favourite tortilla or bean chips!
