Yield Makes 2 to 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 ripe red tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 ear sweet corn, shucked
1 scallion, both white and green parts, trimmed and finely chopped, or 3 tablespoons diced sweet onion
1 to 2 jalapeño peppers or serrano peppers, seeded and minced (for a hotter salsa, leave the seeds in)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place the avocado in the bottom of a nonreactive mixing bowl and gently toss it with 2 tablespoons of the lime juice. Spoon the tomato on top of the avocado.
  • 2. Cut the kernels off the corn. The easiest way to do this is to lay the cob flat on a cutting board and remove the kernels using lengthwise strokes of a chef's knife. Add the corn kernels to the mixing bowl. The salsa can be prepared to this stage up to 2 hours ahead. Refrigerate it, covered.
  • 3. Just before serving, add the jalapeño(s) and cilantro to the mixing bowl and gently toss to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more lime juice as necessary and season with salt and pepper to taste; the salsa should be highly seasoned.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocado: For the best flavor and texture, choose avocados that are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, add a burst of flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: This salsa is best served immediately after making it. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Asian-style corn, avocado, and sesame salsa is a delicious and refreshing salsa that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be ready in just 15 minutes. The combination of sweet corn, creamy avocado, and nutty sesame seeds is sure to please everyone at your party.
