Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup optional feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
If using fresh ears of corn, shuck the corn and remove the kernels using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
If desired, gently fold in crumbled feta cheese for a creamy and tangy addition.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately as a refreshing side dish.
