Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn (on the cob)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn ears and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender and bright yellow. Remove the corn and allow it to cool.
Once cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Place the kernels in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the cilantro. Add all the vegetables and cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and enjoy!
