Avocado and Corn Salsa

My generous neighbor Jack gave me a bunch of fresh corn and tomatoes from his garden. I was making a Mexican meal for dinner and decided to incorporate the fresh veggies into a salsa. I've been seeing a lot of avocado and corn salsas on other food blogs and decided to give it a try. I adapted this recipe from one I found on Epicurious. It was really easy to make and so delicious. All of us loved the fresh flavors and textures of this salsa - I am sure having freshly picked tomatoes and corn made it extra delicious. Thanks Jack!!

Shuck the corn and slice the (uncooked) kernels off the cob. Dice tomato, red onions, avocado, and jalapeno. Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl along with lime juice and cilantro. Season well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Enjoy.
