5.1 from 25 reviews

A refreshing and colorful corn salad recipe that combines the sweetness of fresh corn with the crunch of bell peppers and cucumbers, all tossed in a zesty lime dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn Salad:

  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (about 3 medium ears)

Vegetables:

  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn – Shuck the corn and carefully remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. If using fresh corn, ensure all husks and silks are fully removed.
  2. Chop the Vegetables – Dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and freshly chop the cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
  3. Mix the Salad Base – Place the corn, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro into a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Prepare the Dressing – In a separate bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  5. Toss and Combine – Pour the lime and olive oil dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly so every kernel and vegetable piece is evenly coated in the zesty dressing.
  6. Chill and Serve – Transfer the salad to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
