Corn and Avocado Salsa

Avocados and fresh corn from the cob cohabitate with red pepper flakes, red wine, spices, herbs, and vinegar in this sassy salsa. Try it as a side dish with grilled chicken, or eat it plain with tortilla chips.

Place the corn in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until kernels are tender but crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain, and cool in cold water. Use a knife to scrape...
