Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
- Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
- Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to pressure.
- Use canned or frozen corn: Canned or frozen corn is perfectly fine to use in this salad. Just be sure to drain and rinse it well before adding it to the salad.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of chili powder.
