Description
A bright and cool salad with sweet corn, crisp cucumber, and a tangy creamy dressing featuring lime and cilantro.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels from the cob. Dice the cucumber into small, even pieces. Chop the cilantro and measure out the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder.
- In a large bowl, mix together the corn, diced cucumber, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- No cooking is required for this recipe. For a charred flavor, you can briefly sauté or grill the corn until lightly browned before mixing. Otherwise, chill the mixed salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve cold, garnished with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of chili powder.
Notes
For maximum freshness, adjust seasoning just before serving. Best enjoyed within 48 hours.
