Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium English cucumber, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the corn ears and boil for 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly.
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cob. Measure out about 3 cups of kernels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and give it one final toss or serve with the cheese as a topping.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt to match your preference.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
