Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn ears and boil for 2 minutes. Remove the corn and allow it to cool slightly.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cooled corn ears and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, cilantro, and diced avocado to the mixing bowl with the corn.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the honey lime vinaigrette.
Pour the honey lime vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, garnish with additional cilantro for added freshness.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
