Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumber
• 2 ears fresh sweet corn
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shuck the ears of corn and remove any silk. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the corn for 3-5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from water and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the corn cools, wash the cucumbers. Slice them lengthwise into quarters, then chop into bite-sized chunks. Place the cucumber chunks into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 4

Once cooled, hold each ear of corn upright on a cutting board and use a knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Add the kernels to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Chunky Cucumber Corn Salad!
