Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 2 ears fresh sweet corn
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Shuck the ears of corn and remove any silk. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the corn for 3-5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from water and set aside to cool.
While the corn cools, wash the cucumbers. Slice them lengthwise into quarters, then chop into bite-sized chunks. Place the cucumber chunks into a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl with the cucumbers.
Once cooled, hold each ear of corn upright on a cutting board and use a knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Add the kernels to the mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Chunky Cucumber Corn Salad!
