Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large cucumber
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
- 1 large mango, diced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables and fruit thoroughly.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber into half-moons. If the cucumber has tough skin, consider peeling it first.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Cut the mango into small cubes and combine it with the other ingredients.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the bowl. If using raw corn, no cooking is necessary, but you can lightly boil or grill the corn for added flavor if desired.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the salad.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
