When I was asked to re-create a recipe with Fresh from Florida sweet corn, I was over the moon. Corn is one of those veggies that we don’t eat as often as we would like to. There’s something about fresh corn that makes my family happy. It’s sweet, it’s delicious and it can be incorporated into so many dishes.
Lately, when I think of fresh corn, I immediately think salsa. What’s better than a fresh salsa? It makes a great side dish or a dip for your favorite chips. I’m excited to share my take on the Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salsa from the Fresh From Florida website. We had to alter it just a bit because kids can be picky.
We are very fortunate to live in Florida, where local farmers make it easy for everyone to eat fresh produce year-round. Our local Publix supermarket offers a large variety of fresh veggies and fruits and we find ourselves there multiple times a week, stocking up on as many as we can fit into our fridge. Publix proudly displays the “Fresh from Florida” sign on all of the locally grown produce, so we know which ones were grown right here in our beautiful sunshine state.
Before making the salsa, make sure to roast the corn. I found a really easy way to do it that I wanted to share.
Once the corn is roasted, let cool a bit before you cut the kernels. Then you’re ready to make the Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salsa!
You can find the full recipe below. It was such a hit that my 8 year old would have eaten the entire bowl if I didn’t take the spoon out of her hands. It’s easy and really delicious. Next time, we may add some black beans to it, for a heartier dish. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Is it something you would make? What changes would you make?

We use this as a side dish especially during the summer months when everything is fresh from the garden. Nothing like going out and picking it ourselves and know how it was grown.
Believe it or not I have yet to try a corn salsa! It is definitely something on my hit list to get to. This looks delicious so I think I may have to try this one.
Wow this looks really good. I am always looking for new healthy recipes with lots of bright colors to add into my meals, this is perfect!
This is really perfect for me! I love corn, avocado and I absolutely love salsa for my chips. I’ll check Fresh from Florida website again for more easy recipes!
Oh my! This salsa looks summer ready!! I love avocado and will def be trying this!!
Oh my goodness check out that salsa! What an absolutely delicious idea, the perfect side dish for so many different meals.
Looking at that corn and produce is making me hungry. It is still cold where I live and corn is a few weeks away so I am jealous. I will try and recreate that salad as soon as the veggies come out.
