• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 2 (14 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
• 1⁄4 cup kraft zesty Italian dressing (no substitutions here)
• 1 ripened avocado, deseeded and diced
• 4 -5 green onions, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1⁄4 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1⁄4 orange bell pepper, chopped (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 1 small jalapeno, deseeded and chopped (optional)

directions

1. Please note: The majority of the time spent preparing this dish is in chopping the items listed. However, you can use a food processor if you prefer to cut down on time (although the time is already fairly reasonable). If using a food processor, do not over chop or process the items, simply pulse the items so that the items are fairly intact and not mashed.
2. When chopping items listed, be sure to chop them fairly small. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add all ingredients, making sure to add the Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing last. Mix well.
3. For those who prefer a little bit of spice, add the jalapeno. Also, if you like a little more flavor, you can add slightly more dressing.
4. Serve alone as a side dish or with corn chips as this makes a great dip.

This was the perfect side dish to our enchiladas. I did have a few changes so that is why i gave it only 4 stars. I used green bell pepper, no jalapeno, and sauteed all the ingredients in the dressing, adding the avocado on the side when served. Thanks for sharing! Will make many more times
