Creamy Avocado and Corn Salsa

This creamy avocado and corn salsa is the perfect summer side dish. It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The avocado adds a creamy richness, while the corn adds a sweet crunch. The red onion and cilantro add a bit of brightness, and the jalapeño pepper adds a touch of heat. The Greek yogurt helps to bind the salsa together and adds a bit of tanginess. This salsa is perfect for serving with chips, tacos, or grilled chicken.

This salsa was inspired by a trip I took to Mexico a few years ago. I was eating at a street food stall when I tried a salsa that was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. It was creamy, sweet, and spicy, and I couldn't get enough of it. I asked the vendor for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this salsa ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
