Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Start by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, bring a large pot of water to boil and carefully add the corn cobs. Cook for about 5 minutes until just tender. Remove from the water and allow them to cool.
Once the corn is cool, slice the kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl. You should have about 3 cups of corn kernels.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the corn.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes; Add them to the mixing bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the rest of the vegetables.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the vegetable mixture.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad, gently tossing to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if necessary, before serving.
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavor or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
