When fresh corn is in season, this raw, vegan avocado and corn salad is a simple and delicious meal. I actually prefer fresh corn to cooked, so I jump at any opportunity to use it during the summer. I also love the fact that I can use my fermented salsa starter in another recipe to get more healthy probiotics.
To cut corn off the cob, use a small bowl inverted inside a larger one. Put the cob stem side down and cut the kernels off, while rotating the cob. Finish by scraping the corn milk out of the remaining cob for additional flavor.
Serve on a bed of lettuce or use this salad as a dip for raw tortilla chips.
