Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn or frozen and thawed)
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the corn cobs for about 5 minutes. Drain, let them cool slightly, and slice the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw it according to the package instructions.
Step 2
Wash and dry the cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped parsley or cilantro.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey or agave syrup, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Step 7
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
