Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn ears and boil for 2 minutes. Remove the corn and allow it to cool slightly.

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cooled corn ears and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, cilantro, and diced avocado to the mixing bowl with the corn.

Step 4

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the honey lime vinaigrette.

Step 5

Pour the honey lime vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, garnish with additional cilantro for added freshness.

Step 7

Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
