TIPS
- This recipe can be fully customized. Use your favorite vegetables and try adding a fruit like peaches or mango for a sweet and salty flavor!
- I simply combined avocado oil, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
- When cutting the corn off the cob, try setting the ear on its side horizontally instead of standing it up vertically. This makes it less messy!
- When cutting the jalapeno, you can remove the ribs and seeds or keep them for a spicier dip.
