Spicy Corn Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn, or 2 cans of corn, drained)
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the corn. If you’re using fresh corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until tender. Drain and let it cool. If you’re using canned corn, simply drain and rinse it under cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and the finely chopped jalapeño pepper. Toss everything together to mix.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. This dressing will add an incredible flavor to your salad.
  4. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss to combine. Be sure everything is well-coated with the dressing.
  5. Lastly, fold in the fresh cilantro. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate it for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your flavorful, Spicy Corn Salad!
