Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium English cucumber, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the corn ears and boil for 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly.

Step 2

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the kernels off the cob. Measure out about 3 cups of kernels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the corn.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and give it one final toss or serve with the cheese as a topping.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt to match your preference.

Step 8

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
