Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fritter Mixture

1. Place half of the corn kernels, spring onion, eggs, coriander, flour, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Process for 10-15 seconds until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

3. Drain the fritters on paper towels and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Avocado Salsa

1. In a bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomato, spring onion, coriander, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and lightly stir to combine.

Step 4: Serve
