It is amazing, when you love some ingredients, they keeping showing up every where you go! (clear indication of foodie going mad! lol!) These ingredients are like that "beautiful bag" which you saw in a store, pretended to ignore it for high price and then found every other person holding the same bag... which kept you restless..... until you bought one and hung on your shoulder :) Wow! that was imaginative! isn't it?

To foodie people like you and I, our ingredients are those beautiful "bags" which may not be costly, but are priceless to us! Two such ingredient for me are: avocado and corn. I get immediately interested to try something if that has good serving of corn and avocado! Needless to say, when sweetness of corn meets creamy avocado in a zesty salsa or guacamole, magic happens! and that splash of lemon is quintessential to this happy marriage!

So far, one of my dearest avocado and corn combination has been Chilled Avocado Soup..... recently... this avocado and corn guacamole has made second dearest place in my heart!

Mexican cuisine is not just my favorite for nothing! I'm a die-hard fan of delicious, zesty, sweet and creamy flavors put together in healthy amalgamation of flavors! And that my friend, I see, often in Mexican Cuisine.

Starting from roasting corn, I could feel the deliciousness that was awaiting me.... I was drooling..... even when removing the kernel off the cobs... (partly.... I'll also give to my growling stomach which was waiting for me finish the prep and give him something to eat...)

I'm sure you thinking what was my inspiration..... or in other words, where did I found my favorite "bag" this time ;) Well.... this happened the same place I got inspiration for Orange Adobo Margarita.... our very favorite CPK (California Pizza Kitchen). Since, we shifted our apartment, CPK is closest and when we are not planning to eat at home over the weekend, CPK has become our favorite place to be. I like the fact that they are open almost till midnight. So perfect for those late-night cravings (specially!) When I saw it first in their menu, I knew, I have to try it!

This recipe is inspired from CPK but is certainly not a copycat. First of all, CPK don't use "roasted" corn. Second, the guacamole, served in CPK also has black beans.... but I decided to skip some carbs from my version and kept it just all fresh veggies. I like the fact that without beans, this guac is also fit for Paleo Diet. However, feel free to add some cooked and rinsed black beans, to make portion size more substantial, if you prefer.

By the time, I added diced avocado to this bowl loaded with fresh vegetables, my craving were hitting all high nodes....

I hardly waited for splash of lemon, seasonings, and hardly a few clicks.... before I jumped to eat it right from the bowl....

I'm sure you can imagine from the rustic slash sloppy ;-) presentation.... this is how I prepared and ate it as well.... could hardly save some to click few pictures, the way, I actually intended too. lol! This final click is explaining my story with avocado and corn, pretty well...

PS: For the record, if you wondering even a slight bit..... "why is it not called salsa?!" I would say, if avocado was not star of this plate and if it was not for CPK, I have no problem calling it Avocado and Corn Salsa! :)

You were wondering! Weren't you?

If you like corn and avocados like I do, I'm certain you will like this simple and simply delicious guacamole. Include it in your next Menu for Tex-mex party or make a big bowlful for Cinco De Mayo get-together! Why? Because, there always room for "one more Guacamole" ;) Just don't forget to serve a bowl of chips on the side.

Btw, chips will not be paleo. If serving for Paleo Party, serve veggie chips or lettuce leaves to make lettuce wraps. Oh! before I direct you to guacamole, this dip is Vegan and also gluten free.
