Notes on Ingredients
- Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe and ready for use by pressing into the skin (avocado should be slightly soft!).
- Corn: You can use canned corn or fresh corn from the cob. Grilling the corn gives it great flavor but you can also roast, broil, air fry, or pan fry to make it crispy.
- Garlic: You can use fresh (1 clove minced) or garlic powder.
- Jalapeno: Feel free to omit if you want no spice. Or, for less spice, scoop out all of the seeds.
- Cilantro: If you don’t like cilantro, you can replace this herb with parsley or omit.
- Feta: I use vegan feta (Violife brand).

Commonly Asked Questions
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Use saran wrap and press it against the guacamole to keep air from getting in and the avocado getting brown. After pressing the saran wrap on the guacamole and salad, use an air tight lid to cover the container.
Definitely! If you want no spice at all, omit the jalapeno. Alternatively, for less spice, scoop out the seeds from the jalapenos and just use the pepper.
You can roast, broil, air-fry, or sauté the corn as a grilling alternative. It will still be crispy and delicious!

Extra Helpful Tips
- It is best to make this Guacamole and Corn Salad the day of serving it so the avocado does not get brown. Adding more lime will help preserve the avocado from getting oxidized and discoloring. You can prepare the corn salad portion the day before and store in the fridge.
- If you want less spice and are using fresh jalapeno, scoop the seeds out before using.
- Grill your corn first before cutting it off of the cob if you plan on using a grill. If you are using the oven, you can cut the corn off the cob first and then cook it.
- Serve with chips, pita, veggies, or tacos/burrito bowls.
