Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced

Instructions
If using fresh corn, boil the corn in a pot of salted water for about 5 minutes. Remove and let it cool before cutting the kernels off the cob. Alternatively, you can use canned or frozen corn, but ensure it is drained and thawed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, blueberries, diced red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, chopped cilantro, and mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this vibrant and healthy salad as a side dish or light meal!
