Ingredients
  

3 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (approximately 4 ears of corn, shucked)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 small cucumber, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons high-quality olive oil

1 tablespoon honey (use maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and carefully slice the kernels off with a sharp knife, ensuring you capture all the sweet juice. Alternatively, you can opt for frozen sweet corn; just be sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess moisture.

    Mix Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, diced cucumber, and diced avocado. Use a gentle tossing motion to mix, being careful not to mash the avocado.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, and ground cumin (if using) until fully emulsified. Give it a taste and adjust with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly cracked pepper according to your preference.

        Combine Salad and Dressing: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture, and using a large spatula, gently toss to coat all the components evenly, ensuring the dressing is well distributed throughout.

          Add Final Touches: Carefully fold in the chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh herbaceous note, and finish by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese on top, if desired, to add a savory tang.

            Chill: Allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes. This chilling step helps the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste of your salad.

              Serve: This vibrant and refreshing salad is perfect as a side dish at BBQs, potlucks, or as a light and satisfying lunch on its own. Serve chilled and enjoy every colorful bite!
