Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the corn on the cob and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly crisp.
Remove the corn from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cobs. Set the kernels aside.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds and dice the red bell pepper. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.
