What You’ll Love About Guacamole With Corn Feta Salad:

Be prepared to watch this Guacamole dip disappear! This was another viral recipe I had saved on Instagram and every time I would visit my saved recipes, it was taunting me to make it.

When I say this is probably the best way I’ve ever enjoyed guacamole I mean it with all my heart! This hits every check point for texture. The layer of creamy guac followed by a layer of cool crisp corn salad is absolute PERFECTION! You’ll need a big handful of tortilla chips for scooping and you’re welcome.

I should also mention this has 3.4M views with several 10 out of 10 reviews for an amazing dip. And that it is! Speaking of fresh, my Zesty Roasted Corn Salad is an awesome mid-summer recipe for something light with great flavor. You could also scoop this salad with chips.

Simple Ingredients:

• Avocados– You’ll want to use fresh avocados for the best flavor.
• Lime juice– I use a touch of lime juice in the guac and the corn salad.
• Jalapeno– This gives the guac a little heat but also flavor.
• Seasonings– Garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Fresh corn– I use raw corn right off the cob.
• Cilantro– Adds a fresh flavor.
• Red onion– Gives the corn salad a little bite.
• Avocado oil– Just a touch to bring the corn salad together.
• Feta cheese– I like to use fresh feta for the best flavor.

My Changes:

1. Corn– The original recipe uses grilled corn off the cob but I love the texture and juiciness of fresh raw corn. Plus, it’s an extra step I don’t have to do.
2. Seasonings– I also reduced the garlic powder down to 1/4 tsp from 1 tsp so the avocado flavor would shine.
3. Avocado oil– This was not an ingredient that she added but the oil not only increases the nutrients in the corn salad, but it also creates a bit of a dressing when coupled with the lime juice.
4. Red onion– I didn’t want the salad to hit you in the face with onion flavor so I only added a 1/4 cup vs. 1/3 cup.

How To Make Guacamole with Corn Feta Salad:

Notes

Common Questions:

 

Can I use prepared guacamole from the grocery store?

If you absolutely can’t find fresh ripe avocados and good quality pre-made guac will work.

Will frozen or canned corn work for this recipe?

Again, if you can’t find fresh corn or it’s out of season I would recommend using frozen, thawed corn for the best texture.

Will the corn salad still be good without the feta?

Absolutely, but the feta offers great flavor and saltiness. It’s not overpowering. If you don’t feta you can use crumbled Queso Fresco cheese.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

The corn salad can be made a few hours ahead of time. I would recommend making the guacamole no sooner then 30-minutes before serving.

What do I serve with guac corn salad?

Tortilla chips are fantastic for scooping up all the fresh ingredients. For a lower-carb option you could serve it with mini pepper, or other veggies you enjoy.
