Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 medium Lime
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Avocado (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Shuck the corn and remove any remaining silks. Add the corn to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.

Step 3

Using tongs, remove the corn from the pot and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let the corn cool completely.

Step 4

While the corn is cooling, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber, halve it lengthwise, and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Dice the cucumber and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 6

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the mix.

Step 7

Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 8

Once the corn is cool, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Add the corn kernels to the salad bowl.

Step 9

Juice the limes and whisk the juice with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well blended.

Step 10

Pour the lime dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.

Step 11

Add the chopped cilantro and toss again to evenly distribute.

Step 12

If using, dice the avocado and gently fold into the salad right before serving.

Step 13

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 14

Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir well before serving and enjoy!
