Cut the kernels off the cobs of fresh corn and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the bowl with the corn.
Chop the fresh cilantro and slice the green onions, then add them to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the spicy lime dressing by whisking together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the corn and radish mixture, tossing well to ensure the salad is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for enhanced flavors.
