Ingredients

 2 avocados

 2 sweet corn cobs, fresh or frozen

 1 small red capsicum, chopped finely

 1 tbsp lemon juice

 Black pepper to taste

Method

1

Cut avocado in half lengthwise and take out the seeds or pit. Scoop out the avocado with a spoon into a bowl. Mash avocado to the texture you prefer - smooth or chunky.

2

Grill corn cobs or corn kernels on a hot pan. Turn occasionally until there are dark brown spots on the kernels.

3

Once cooked and cooled, hold the cob upright and cut off the kernels with a knife. Do this until you have removed all the kernels.

4

Add the cooled kernels to the mashed avocado.

5

Add chopped onion, capsicum, lemon juice and black pepper. Mix the ingredients well.

6

Serve as a dip with toasted tortilla bread, crackers, veggie sticks or on tacos and burritos.

Variations

  • Instead of corn cobs, 1 cup of drained canned corn kernels can be used.
  • Add 1 tsp of chopped herbs (such as parsley or coriander).
  • Add ½ cup of diced tomato.
