Vegetarian Ceviche Salad

This corn salad, aka vegetarian ceviche, uses the same base ingredients of red onion, lime juice, and hot peppers, as the the traditional Peruvian ceviche. The queso fresco cheese replaces the fish. The corn, red pepper, and avocado adds a colorful freshness to this salad. If you want to make this side vegan, omit the cheese.
