Ingredients

1 16 oz package of frozen corn thawed – or 3-4 ears of fresh corn roasted
1 red bell pepper diced
1 small white onion diced

4 medium avocados peeled, pitted, and chopped
5 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup lemon juice about 2 lemons
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

In a large bowl, mix the corn, olives, red bell pepper, and onion.

Notes

Substitutions:

Corn - Use fresh, frozen, or canned! Just boil or grill fresh corn on the cob before removing kernels.

Onion - You could also use a yellow onion.

Oregano - Substitute 1 tablespoon fresh for the 1 teaspoon dried.

Apple Cider Vinegar - You can also use rice wine vinegar or white vinegar.

Olive Oil - You could use another neutral oil like canola or vegetable, but I think that the flavor of a good extra virgin olive oil is best.

Make Ahead:

Make Ahead by mixing all ingredients except avocados, cover, and put in the fridge. This can be done 1 day in advance. You can make the dressing up to 4 days in advance. Add avocados right before serving.
