Instructions

Start by preparing the rice. For this, add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot, and once it is hot, add the sliced clove of garlic. When it begins to lightly brown, add the rice. Stir it for a couple of minutes before adding the hot water with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes and then turn down the heat to low and cook for 8 more minutes. If in this time, it absorbed all of the water and is still hard, add more water. Let it sit for a little bit.

Chop the onion and cut the tomatoes in half. Dice the avocado.

Drain the lentils and corn and rinse under water, then drain.

Mix the onion, halved tomatoes, lentils, and corn in a bowl. Stir gently. Add the avocado on top and finish by adding some oil, lemon, and salt on top.
