Hatch Chile, Avocado and Corn Salad
Depending on how well the avocado is coated with acid, it will brown with time. Don't fret, it will still be delicious. However, after one day, the avocado will begin to brown even more, which will begin to affect its flavor. To make this salad ahead, follow steps 1 and 2. Prepare and add the avocados right before service to prevent the browning of the avocado.
