• Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to craft your corny creation.

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

• Begin by husking your corn and removing the kernels. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. Trust me, fresh corn makes all the difference.

Step 2: Mix the Base

• Next, pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice along with the white wine vinegar and honey or agave syrup. This tangy blend will give the salsa a delightful zing. Stir it gently to combine.

Step 3: Add the Veggies

• Now, toss in the diced red onion and minced jalapeños. If you're uncertain about the spice level, start with one jalapeño. Remember, you can always add more heat later! Mix these ingredients with the corn for a colorful medley.

Step 4: Flavor it Up

• Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and fine sea salt. These spices turn your simple corn mix into a fiesta for the taste buds. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.

Step 5: The Finishing Touch

• Finally, fold in the freshly chopped cilantro and diced avocado (if you're using it). The avocado adds a creamy texture, which balances the crunch of the veggies. Give it one last mix before serving.
