    If you don't know how to make corn salsa get excited because this is literally the BEST Corn Salsa recipe. Also known as cowboy caviar. 

    bowl of corn salsa with a spoon and a tea towel next to itGet excited friends because you are in for a treat. Literally, this is the world's best corn salsa. It is my favorite salsa, and I am an emphatic Mexican food lover. 

    Corn Salsa

    It is light, healthy, and freaking delicious. Obviously the beans, avocados and veggies in this corn salsa are yummy, but what really takes it over the edge is the light vinaigrette dressing that goes over the top. I swear it is so good I could drink it. Plus, it helps keep the avocados fresh for longer.

    If you love easy Mexican side dishes like this you definitely need to check out our homemade guacamole and our five minute salsa as well.

    Plus, this recipe is definitely a crowd pleaser. I get requests to bring it all the time. Just don't be surprised when it evaporates before your very eyes... because this corn salsa is just that good.

    Best Corn Salsa Recipe

    Pro Tip: The vinaigrette keeps the avocado from going brown, so this salsa will totally save until the next day. If there is any left that is. Also, if you don't have an avocado saver you probably need one.
