Description
A vibrant salad combining crisp cucumbers, sweet corn, and tangy lime for a perfect summer dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 medium red onion
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your vegetables: Carefully cut your cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Dice the cherry tomatoes and red onion, and set aside. If using fresh corn, cook it on the cob until tender, cool, and then slice off the kernels.
- Create the creamy base: In your mixing bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy, creating a luscious coating for your salad.
- Combine the ingredients: Gently fold in the corn kernels, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Ensure everything is well mixed, allowing the dressing to coat each piece beautifully.
- Fresh touch: Finally, fold in the fresh cilantro if using, giving the salad a refreshing burst of flavor that exudes summer.
- Chill and serve: Cover your creation and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise and sour cream. Customize with additional vegetables like bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor.
