Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3-4 ears) or 1 can (15 oz) of sweet corn, drained

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for extra heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 tsp honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and allow to cool. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse under cold water.

    Mix the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn, diced avocado, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced jalapeño (if using).

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

        Combine: Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently fold everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado. Adjust seasoning according to taste.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

            Serve: Stir gently again before serving and garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a fresh topping for grilled chicken or fish.
