Do I have to use avocado in this recipe? Can I replace it with something else?
Yes. Avocado adds color, a soft texture and a mild, buttery flavor. If you don’t care for it, it can be omitted. If you want something to replace it with, try crushed black olives.
Is this recipe spicy?
Not especially. The red pepper flakes can add a tiny touch of warmth, but if you want it completely mild, you can omit the red pepper flakes. If, on the other hand, you prefer it spicier, you can add a diced jalapeno.
Can I use canned corn instead frozen corn? Can I use fresh corn from the cob?
This recipe calls for frozen corn kernels and thawing. Frozen corn is a great option for both flavor and texture. You can also substitute canned corn. You’ll need approximately 2 standard size cans to get about 2 cups of corn. Be sure to drain them well. You can also use fresh corn and cut the kernels from the cob. Fresh sweet corn can be eaten raw, or you can cook it by boiling in water, steaming, or sautéing in a skillet. If you like this fun salad side dish, you might like to try some of these:
