Lime juice is a crucial ingredient in our Sweet Corn & Avocado Toast, serving multiple purposes that elevate this dish. First and foremost, lime juice helps prevent oxidation of the avocado, which can turn brown and unappetizing shortly after cutting. By incorporating lime juice, you not only maintain the vibrant green color of the avocado but also enhance the overall flavor profile of your toast. The acidity of lime juice balances the richness of the avocado and the sweetness of the corn, creating a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and zesty.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (or use canned or frozen as needed)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional, for a touch of heat)

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread

Olive oil, for drizzling

Crumbled feta cheese (optional, for added creaminess)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh sweet corn, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and set aside to cool. If using canned or frozen corn, simply proceed to the next step.

    Mash the Avocados: Halve the ripe avocados and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados to your preferred texture, whether smooth or a bit chunky. Squeeze the lime juice into the mixture to add flavor and prevent browning.

      Make the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the cooked corn, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.

        Toast the Bread: Preheat a grill pan or toaster over medium heat. Toast each slice of bread until golden brown and slightly crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

          Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice of warm toasted bread. Top each slice with the sweet corn salsa, ensuring even coverage.

            Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle a little olive oil over the completed toast. If desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the toast while it’s still warm.
