Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 4 cups fresh (about 5 ears) or frozen (thawed) Corn Kernels
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 Avocados
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper cored and seeded
  • 4 Poblano Chiles roasted, peeled and seeded (See Box below - How to Roast Peppers)
  • 4 Scallions white and light green parts, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1/2 cup Red Wine Vinegar

Instructions

  • Place 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet.
  • Place skillet over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add corn, salt and pepper, to taste. Sauté corn about 5 minutes. Transfer roasted corn to a large mixing bowl. Set aside to cool.
  • Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
  • Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
  • Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin. (Some people like to score the avocado with a knife before scooping.)
  • Chop avocado into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces. Add to roasted corn.
  • Chop bell pepper and roasted Poblanos into 1/4-inch dice. Add to the sautéed corn.
  • Add scallions, red wine vinegar and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
  • Mix gently but well. Allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors before serving.
  • Serve at room temperature.
  • If making in advance, make recipe as is - Except do not cut the avocado. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 to 3 days. Prepare and add the avocado just before serving and allow salsa to come up to room temperature or slightly below.
