Recipe Notes

If you don’t like cilantro, you can use flat-leaf parsley.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between them. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until crispy. Allow the bacon to cool, then chop it and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, avocado, green onions, jalapeno, cooked bacon, cilantro, yogurt, lime zest, and juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.
