Sweet Corn Fritters with Avocado Salsa

Ingredients for Fritters:

• 1 cup fresh or canned sweet corn kernels
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying

Ingredients for Avocado Salsa:

• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Avocado Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and set aside.
2. Make Fritter Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the sweet corn kernels and chopped green onions.
3. Fry the Fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Serve: Serve the sweet corn fritters warm, topped with avocado salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
