Description
A refreshing and vibrant Summer Fresh Corn Salad that combines sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy bell peppers, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Start by shucking the corn and removing the kernels from the cobs. You can do this by standing the cob upright in a bowl and cutting downwards with a sharp knife.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin (if using).
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider mixing in 1/2 cup of diced cucumber or avocado.
- Substitute the lime juice with lemon juice for a different citrus flavor.
