How to Make Avocado Corn Salsa
1. Prepare the Base Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the corn, olives, red bell pepper, and onion. Mix until evenly distributed for a colorful base.

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cider vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
