Some creamy, cooling avocado recipes

Here’s an interesting recipe for a corn and avocado salad. Just put the corn in raw. And there’s a nice jalapeño dressing too.

Raw Corn and Avocado Salad

6 ears fresh corn

6 radishes, thinly sliced

1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

1 cup diced red onion

2 cups halved cherry tomatoes

Lime jalapeño dressing (recipe follows)

2 whole avocados, peeled and chopped

Remove corn husks and any remaining hairs. Cutting from the top of each corn cob down, remove raw kernels. Discard the cobs.

In a medium bowl, combine corn, radishes, parsley, onion, and tomatoes. Whisk dressing and pour evenly over the salad, tossing lightly until evenly distributed. Top with avocado and serve immediately.

Lime Jalapeño Dressing

(Makes 2 cups)

3/4 cup fresh lime juice

3 large or 6 small jalapeños, seeded and chopped

3 tbsp honey

1-1/2 tsp cumin

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Heavy pinch sea salt and freshly ground pepper

In a food processor, add lime juice, jalapeños, honey, and cumin. Process together and slowly pour in the olive oil, continuing to process until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Speaking of avocados, nearly every time you hear people talk about millennials you will also surely hear “avocado toast.” I think it is pretty good but probably not something I’d order in a restaurant since it’s so easy to make at home.

Here are a few different toppings and they only have a few ingredients besides the toasted bread and avocado.

Crushed red pepper flakes with salt and olive oil. Buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. Bacon and tomato. Fried egg and black pepper. Pesto and Parmesan. Smoked salmon, red onion and lemon juice. Cucumber, tomato and Feta cheese.

The possibilities are endless.

And last but not least:

Noelia’s Guacamole

This one has no measurements so add the following until it tastes good to you:

Avocados, chopped onions, tomatoes and garlic, Serrano peppers, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Stir and eat!
