Ingredients
  

3 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 small cucumber, diced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

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

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, start by shucking the ears and removing the kernels with a sharp knife. You can also use frozen corn—just thaw it before using.

    Mix Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, cucumber, and avocado. Toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, and cumin (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary.

        Combine Salad and Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

          Add Final Touches: Fold in the chopped cilantro or parsley and sprinkle with feta cheese, if desired.

            Chill: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

              Serve: Enjoy this refreshing salad as a side dish at BBQs, picnics, or as a light lunch on its own!
