Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Corn Salad:

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Corn: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove, cool slightly, and cut the kernels off the cob.
  2. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, basil, and parsley.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle with olive oil and apple cider vinegar or lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, then toss gently to combine.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • You can grill the corn for a smoky flavor instead of boiling it.
  • Enhance the salad with diced avocado or crumbled feta cheese for added texture.
