FAQs

Can I use canned corn?

Yes, canned corn works well in this salad if you don’t have fresh or frozen corn on hand. Just be sure to drain and rinse it thoroughly.

How do I keep the avocado from browning?

Toss the avocado with lime juice right after cutting it to help prevent browning. If storing the salad, cover it tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure.
