Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, diced avocado, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything gently until well combined.
-
Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, mash them using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
In a serving dish or individual ramekins, start layering the causa. Begin with a layer of the mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of the corn and avocado mixture. Continue layering until you reach the desired height.
-
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the causa to set. Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro.
-
Serve the Vegetarian Causa with Corn and Avocado chilled as a delightful appetizer or light meal.
