Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Corn: In a large bowl, toss the fresh corn kernels with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the corn evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the corn is slightly charred and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even roasting.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the corn is roasting, dice the avocados, chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and mince the jalapeño (if using).

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced avocados, chopped onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and minced jalapeño.

          Dress the Salsa: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lime juice over the mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

            Chill & Serve: For the best flavor, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.
