Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1.5 cups fresh corn kernels
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and slice them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from 2-3 ears of corn using a sharp knife. Add the kernels to the mixing bowl. If fresh corn is unavailable, substitute with thawed, cooked frozen corn.
Peel and finely dice the red onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and corn.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin strips (chiffonade style) and add them to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Chill the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant taste.
