Fresh Salad with Corn, Avocado, Tomato & Ground Meat

Ingredients:

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

2 ripe avocados, diced

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1/2 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken)

1 small red onion, finely chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cook the Ground Meat:

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool down.

Prepare the Vegetables:

While the meat is cooking, dice the tomatoes and avocado. If you're using fresh corn, you can quickly blanch it in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then cool it down. Canned or frozen corn can be added directly.

Mix the Salad:

In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes, avocado, and cooked ground meat. Toss gently to combine.

Dress the Salad:

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish & Serve:

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for extra flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
