  2. Let the corn cool slightly and then cut the kernels from the cobs (Scrape the corn kernels from the ears of corn by using a sharp kitchen knife and a large cutting board.  Cut off the stem end to give a flat base.  Hold the ear, tip end up, then cut downward, removing a few rows at a time).

  3. In a large bowl, combine the prepared corn, tomatoes, chile pepper, onion, and garlic; set aside.

  4. Prepare the Southwest Dressing.  Pour the prepared dressing over the corn salsa mixture.  Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the avocado and cilantro into the salsa.  Taste and adjust seasonings to your desire.

  5. Either serve as a salad with your dinner or in a bowl surrounded with your favorite salsa chips.  Enjoy!
