Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh sweet corn (kernels removed, from about 4 ears)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (diced)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 large avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, remove the husks and silks, and carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Measure out 3 cups of kernels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, diced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado pieces while mixing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.
