Tomato Avocado Corn Salsa

Tomato Avocado Corn Salsa

Growing up in the South, corn and tomatoes were frequently served together in several of my mom’s recipes. She would serve this tasty veggie combo in soups, stews, and casseroles. To pay tribute to my Southern roots, I put a new spin on the traditional salsa recipe, which you can serve over your favorite protein or with tortilla or pita chips.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup whole kernel yellow corn, drained
  • 1 avocado, peeled, seeded, chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (optional)

Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, corn, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, ground cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, if using.

    2. Toss to combine, and serve with tortilla chips, tortillas, or your favorite protein, as desired.

Notes

This recipe can be prepared up to one hour in advance. Cover tightly and stir gently before serving. Use no salt added canned tomatoes to further reduce sodium levels.
