  2. Prepare the Corn Salsa: In another bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix and chill.
  3. Mash the Avocado: Scoop avocado into a bowl, mash with lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but slightly chunky.
  4. Make the Sauce: Whisk together mayo (or yogurt), lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt. Adjust thickness with a splash of water if needed.
