Creamy Avocado Corn Salsa

Hello! It’s Mystery Dish time again! If you haven’t seen this before, a group of 11 other bloggers and I use a list of ingredients and each come up with a recipe using at least three foods from the list. This month I am the host, which means I chose the ingredients!

Here’s my list: pistachios, wine, mint, gluten-free flour (coconut, rice, almond, etc.), red pepper flakes, fish, agave nectar, applesauce, blueberries, parmesan cheese, milk, and corn.

I actually hadn’t decided what I was going to make yet and then realized I already made these tuna tacos with avocado corn salsa that accidentally fit the bill! This salsa is so easy to make. You only need a handful of ingredients and a few minutes to be ready for dipping. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and a lot good.

Creamy Avocado Corn Salsa

The salsa includes corn, agave nectar, and red pepper flakes from the ingredient list, and the fish in the tacos was a bonus ingredient. I found frozen ahi tuna steaks that were a real treat for this dinner. After thawing them in the refrigerator, I dried them well with paper towels, seasoned them with a dry BBQ rub, and seared them on all sides in a little oil in a very hot skillet.

It had been too long since I enjoyed rare tuna. So good!  If tuna’s not your thing, this salsa is delicious on its own with chips, or it would be great on chicken tacos too.

    I have made three batches of the corn/avocado salsa since Sunday night (this is Tuesday morning…) and wolfed all three–it is absolutely ridiculous!! Such a great blend of subtle flavors. The second and third batches I made without the agave nectar, and I was ok with it being just a little less sweet–I let the corn do that by itself. Either way, I could eat this all day. And pretty much did yesterday….

      This made my day, Roger! I love that you loved it :) I’m trying to cut my sugar down, so I think I would leave out the agave next time too. Thanks so much for your message. Enjoy the rest of your week!

      Thank you, Sarah! I love the fun of mystery dish, but I have too many irons in the fire right now and have to let some things go. (You can probably tell since I’m three days behind on replying to comments!) I’m going to try to keep up with the lists and see what you guys come up with each month. Take care!
