Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Rinse and drain the corn kernels if needed, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro.
- Combine the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to evenly coat all ingredients with the dressing.
- Chill the salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: After chilling, give the salad a final toss and serve it cold as a refreshing side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen corn works well if thawed completely.

- Add diced avocado for a creamy texture variation.
- For a spicy kick, include some finely chopped jalapeño peppers.
- This salad can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
