Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (or peas, if substituting)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh or frozen corn, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels (or peas, if substituting) and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
While the corn (or peas) cools, prepare the other vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the celery, and thinly slice the scallions. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced dill, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 4
Add the cooled corn (or peas) to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a side dish or on its own. Optionally, garnish with extra dill or scallions before serving.
