Corn And Avocado Salsa

Corn And Avocado Salsa
David Scantland for NPR
/

This recipe is much more than the sum of its parts -- I've had guests eat it from the bowl with a spoon before it ever made it to the table. It's a great accompaniment for quesadillas, grilled fish or roasted chicken. It's also irresistible with chips. I try to chop the vegetables about the same size as the corn kernels so the mixture is uniform.

Makes about 5 cups of salsa

1 large tomato, seeded and chopped fine

1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped fine

1/2 small red onion, chopped fine

2 cups cooked corn (about 4 ears)

1 large avocado, chopped

1 tablespoon cumin

2 teaspoons (or more) dried chili flakes

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons lime juice

Salt to taste

Mix together all ingredients and season to taste. If making ahead, do not add the avocado until right before serving.
