Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (or 1 can of sweet corn, drained)

1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen, thawed)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 medium cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 ripe avocado, diced

Juice of 2 limes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes for a touch of heat

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: If opting for fresh corn, bring a medium-sized pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the sweet corn kernels and cook for approximately 5 minutes until tender yet crisp. For frozen edamame, boil them in a separate pot for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain both the corn and edamame, and spread them onto a plate to cool completely.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn, shelled edamame, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Using a large spoon, gently toss the ingredients together to evenly distribute them.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, honey (or agave syrup), and season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

        Combine Salad and Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the mixed salad ingredients. Use a spatula or a large spoon to carefully toss everything until the salad is thoroughly coated with the dressing.

          Add Avocado: Softly fold in the diced avocado with the salad mixture, taking care to keep the avocado pieces intact and avoid mashing them.

            Chill: For enhanced flavors and freshness, cover the salad and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

              Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the ingredients. This colorful and refreshing salad is perfect for warm days and can be served as a side dish or a light main. Enjoy!
