For an enhanced flavor profile, consider grilling the corn on the cob before cutting off the kernels. The smoky char adds a delightful depth to the salsa. When selecting avocados, gently press near the stem. A ripe avocado will yield slightly to pressure but should not be overly soft. Adjust the amount of red onion and garlic to your personal preference. For a milder flavor, soak the minced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salsa. If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand, you can substitute with red wine vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Feel free to add other summer vegetables to the salsa, such as diced cucumber, bell pepper, or jalapeño for a touch of heat.
