Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh, cooked)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for slight sweetness)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, cook the corn kernels by boiling them in water for 3–5 minutes or steaming them until tender, then let them cool. If using canned corn, drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lime juice, olive oil, honey (if using), salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Add the chopped cilantro or parsley and toss again for a burst of freshness.

Step 6

Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light, low-fat snack.
