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.
Honestly, it doesn't get much easier than a healthy and delicious appetizer. I can throw this cowboy caviar together in five minutes and be ready to go to any party or gathering.
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.
