Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add corn kernels (no oil necessary if using a nonstick pan) and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until some kernels are charred. Stir and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2
Done

In a large salad bowl, combine the charred corn, black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, radishes, and chopped cilantro.

3
Done

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil (if using), chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

4
Done

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

5
Done

Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and serve with lime wedges on the side.
