Ingredients

4 avocados, pitted
Juice of ½ a lemon
Juice of ½ a lime
¼ cup diced red onion
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus extra for topping
1 ear grilled corn, cut off the cob
⅓ cup cherries, pitted and chopped
⅓ cup blueberries
½ cup chopped strawberries
¼ cup crumbled feta, plus extra for topping
Lime wedges for serving
Your favorite tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, red onion, and salt. Mash until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 2: Gently fold in the cilantro, grilled corn, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and feta. Be careful not to break up the berries too much. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Step 3: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Top with extra chopped cilantro and a spoonful of feta. Garnish with lime wedges and serve alongside your favorite tortilla chips.

Tips & Variations

For a smoky flavor, char the corn directly on the grill before cutting it off the cob.
Substitute feta with queso fresco or goat cheese for a different tangy note.
Add a diced jalapeño for a spicy kick if you like heat.
Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for brighter flavor.

Storage

Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning. Keep refrigerated and consume within 1–2 days for best freshness. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and add a splash of lime juice if needed. Avoid freezing, as the berries and texture will be affected.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare this guacamole ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and refrigerate, but to maintain vibrant color and fresh taste, add the berries and feta just before serving if possible.

What can I use if I don’t have grilled corn?

Fresh corn kernels or roasted corn from the oven work well as substitutes. Grilling adds extra smoky flavor but isn’t mandatory.

Instructions

Prepare the guacamole base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pitted avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, diced red onion, and salt. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the mixture to your desired consistency – whether chunky or smooth.
Add fresh mix-ins: Gently fold in the chopped cilantro, grilled corn kernels, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and crumbled feta cheese. Be careful to fold delicately to avoid breaking up the berries too much, preserving their texture and appearance.
Season and serve: Taste the guacamole and adjust the salt if needed. Scoop the mixture into a serving bowl and garnish with extra chopped cilantro and a tablespoon or two of crumbled feta. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Grill the corn ahead of time by brushing with a little oil and cooking on a grill or grill pan until lightly charred.
For a zestier flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or finely diced jalapeño.
This guacamole is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
Ensure berries are dry before folding in to maintain texture and prevent guacamole from becoming watery.
To make it vegan, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
