Ingredients
  • Sweet corn - 2 cups, frozen or fresh
  • Cucumber - 1, large
  • Tomato - 2, medium
  • Red onion - 1, medium
  • Carrot - 1, medium
  • Lemon - 2
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. First we will steam the sweet corn. Take a steamer and add the sweet corn to the steaming basket. Place the basket on top of a pot of boiling water.
  2. Let the sweet corn steam on medium flame for 15 minutes or until the corn turns soft & tender.
  3. Transfer the corn to a large mixing bowl and set it aside while it cools down a little and you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  4. Chop the cucumber into small pieces. If you are using European cucumber, then you won’t need to peel it.
  5. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces; finely chop the onion and grate the carrot. Squeeze the juice of lemon and set it aside.
  6. Add all the prepared ingredients i.e. cucumber, tomatoes, onion and carrot into the bowl with steamed corn.
  7. Drizzle half of the lemon juice over the corn salad ingredients. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Using two spoons or a pair of salad forks, start mixing the corn salad ensuring the seasoning is distributed evenly and each ingredient is coated with lemon juice and salt & pepper.
  9. Do a taste test at this point. If you feel your corn salad is not tangy enough then drizzle the remaining lemon juice and give a final mix!
  10. Your corn salad is ready! But before serving, cover it with a cling wrap and leave it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes allowing the ingredients to absorb the flavors from lemon juice and seasoning.
  11. Finally serve your super-fresh corn salad as an evening snack or as a healthy side along with your grilled chicken! Enjoy!
