- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the corn kernels from the cob using a sharp knife, being careful to avoid cutting too deep into the cob. Place the kernels in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl with the corn.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and slice it into thin half-moons. Add the cucumber to the salad bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves finely and add them to the mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring that the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a refreshing side or light meal.
