    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Is this a salad or salsa?

    Technically it can be both. Depending on your home, some eat this as a side dish and others eat it like a salsa. It is tasty if you pair with chips, top tacos, or eat it as a side dish next to chicken, pork, etc.

    How to make this recipe spicy?

    Ramp up the flavor of this avocado dish by adding in some diced jalapenos, or even red pepper flakes. Add as much or as little as you would like to control the heat factor.

    Can I make this dish in advance?

    You can pre-cook the corn and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in advance. In terms of the avocado you will not want to cut and place in salad till you are ready to serve. Avocado browns really quickly, so this salad has to be served immediately.

    How to know when an avocado is ripe?

    Reach for your avocado and give it a quick look. You want to make sure there are no soft spots or blemishes on the avocado. Then gently squeeze and see that it is firm but has a slight give when you squeeze. If it is extra mushy, it is over-ripe. Or if it is hard, it is going to need more time to ripen.
