*Corn & Avocado Salsa*

Last night Jay O. & I had Aunt Abigail, Rebekah, & Chris over for dinner.  Yesterday, I was in the mood to cook so I decided to have a mini dinner party, we were glad they were able to make it!  This is what I served as an app. 
 
Ingredients:
1/2 can golden sweet kernel corn                                                
1 can mexicorn
2 avocados seeded & diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded & diced
1 Serrano pepper, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
you could use the full can of corn & full red onion if serving a larger group.
And, it would be great with a can of black beans added, too!

Directions:
Drain corn & dice ingredients.  
Combine corn, avocado, onion, red bell pepper, Serrano pepper, garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, cilantro, salt & pepper.
In a small container combine & stir red wine vinegar, olive oil, & fresh lime juice; stir to combine.
Pour the mixture over the veggies, & stir.  
If you're waiting awhile to serve the dip, wait to add the avocado in right before serving so the avocado doesn't brown & stays fresh!
Chill until ready to serve.  Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.  Whole wheat scoops are my favorite choice!


Very Refreshing!!!
