Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

- 1 clove garlic, small
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp mexican oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Grill the corn until slightly blistered and fully cooked, about 10 minutes, turning often. Alternatively, boil if grilling isn't possible. Cut off the kernels once cool.
- In a large bowl, mix the corn, diced avocados, red onion, green chilli, cilantro, Cotija cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and salt. Pour over the salad ingredients and stir gently. Let it sit for 15 minutes to blend flavors before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, you can use grilled garlic in place of the raw garlic.
Feel free to substitute with feta cheese if Cotija is unavailable.
This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
