- Swap the cilantro for fresh parsley or basil to change the herb flavor.

FAQs
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare the salad shortly before serving to prevent the avocado from browning. If making ahead, keep the avocado separate and add it just before serving.
Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh?
Yes, thaw and drain frozen corn thoroughly before using to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
