Avocado Corn Confetti Salsa
 


Have you tried the corn this year?? It’s unbelievable. I love, I mean LOVE fresh corn. I could eat fresh corn on the cob for dinner. All by its lonesome.

Tonight I had to come up with a quick appetizer to share at a church dinner, so I ran to the grocery, and picked up the ingredients for one of my all time favorite salsas.

If you don’t make this Avocado Corn Confetti Salsa in the summer when the corn is fresh, you’re missing out. It’s good with frozen corn, but out of this world with fresh corn off the cob.

If you want, it could be served as a side salad on top of some shredded lettuce, or on a piece of butter lettuce. In the word of a dear friend I spent the week with recently -“Yummalicious”.
