Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, blanch the corn cobs in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then cool and cut off the kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it in a microwave or on the stovetop. Allow the kernels to cool completely.

Step 2

Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise, and remove the seeds using a spoon. Dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumber.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables.

Step 6

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
