Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn (about 4 large ears)
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 small Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (from about 1-2 limes)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Optional: crumbled feta or cotija cheese

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Husk the corn and place the ears in boiling water. Boil for 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove the corn and let it cool.

Step 2

Once cool, carefully cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, cherry tomato halves, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.

Step 4

Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl for a fresh and herbaceous flavor.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together until well-coated and evenly mixed.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
