Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 large cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, blanch the corn cobs in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then cool and cut off the kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it in a microwave or on the stovetop. Allow the kernels to cool completely.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise, and remove the seeds using a spoon. Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumber.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
