Fresh salad with creamy avocado, corn and a spicy lime-chili sauce
When I'm on holiday or traveling I prefer to eat local food. Not only because I think it's the tastiest, but also because I love being inspired by new flavors. In Ecuador (and other South American countries) corn and avocado are eaten a lot. They taste fantastic in a salad with, for example, tomato and tortilla chips, but I realised I could keep it a lot simpler. I set to work with crème fraîche and a bit of chili, and realised this lovely little dish didn't need much more. It's not a main course, but it is a tastyside dish next to a good piece of meat. This corn-avocado salad also works great as a lunch =D
Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and chili powder in a small bowl. Drain the corn and cut the avocado into small cubes. Combine the avocado and corn and stir the sauce through. Add a little sea salt to taste and garnish with a wedge of lime and some red chili.Caramba so tasty!
