Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 2

If you are using fresh sweetcorn, cook the ears in boiling water for 5 minutes, then cool and slice off the kernels. If using canned sweetcorn, drain and rinse. If using frozen sweetcorn, thaw it according to package instructions.

Step 3

Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt to preference.

Step 7

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves if desired.
