If you have an aversion to cilantro, feel free to use a fresh herb like parsley instead.

Extra Helpful Tips
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.
