Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn
- 1.5 cups blueberries
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove any remaining silk. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ears of corn for 5-7 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Remove the corn and let it cool.
Step 2
Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cobs. Transfer the kernels to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the corn.
Step 4
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Add both to the bowl.
Step 5
Rinse and drain the blueberries, then gently fold them into the salad mixture.
Step 6
In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Step 8
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
