Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, diced

1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn (thawed if frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, diced

Juice of 2 limes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)

1/4 tsp cumin (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and dicing the zucchinis, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, and cilantro. If using fresh corn, you can cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it’s properly thawed.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin until well combined.

      Combine the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to combine.

        Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss again until everything is evenly coated.

          Incorporate Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

              Chill and Serve: Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Serve cold or at room temperature.
