Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and the cooled sautéed corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lime juice, curry powder, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the corn and tomato mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
If desired, stir in the finely chopped jalapeño for extra heat.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
