- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned or thawed from frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
