Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh sweet corn (kernels removed, from about 4 ears)
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 medium cucumber (diced)
• 0.5 cup red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 large avocado (diced)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large lime (juiced)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, remove the husks and silks, and carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Measure out 3 cups of kernels.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, diced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado pieces while mixing.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Step 6

Refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.
