Mexican Corn Salad

A refreshing salad with Mexican flavours, sounds fancy but I am game for such flavours always. I love pop in the mouth sweet corn, buttery avocado, some herbs like oregano totally lift the flavours of the salad and make it totally Mexican. I went the extra mile and served it with homemade corn bread, just lovely!
On a busy work day evening you can rustle up this Mexican corn salad quickly. Prepare the corn ahead of time and you will have a filling salad ready in no time at all. The red onion slices add a little zing and crunch. And what can I say about avocado the beautiful butter fruit of the gods. They are rich in good fats and so delicious, a nice mouthful.


Avoid using stale corn and canned corn is a no no. Use any flavours you like, chilli flakes, oregano etc. Salads are usually a good way to experiment your flavours. Add a little, taste then add again, adjust as you go. So more salads to experiment with:
Watermelon salad, Mango Avocado Salad, Pasta Salad, Panzanella
More Mexican recipes, guacamole, nachos nirvana, tortilla pockets, breakfast polenta etc.
