🥑 Add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning, or toss it with a little lime juice to keep it fresh and green
🌽 For the best flavor, use fresh corn cut from the cob when it’s in season – it adds natural sweetness that complements the zesty dressing
🥣 Make the dressing a day ahead and store it separately – this allows the flavors to meld together and makes assembly quick and easy
