Preparing the Salad
- Wash all produce. Slice the 2 large English cucumbers into thin rounds. Halve the 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and finely dice the 1/2 cup of red onion.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Whisk vigorously until fully emulsified and thickened.
- Transfer the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and 1 cup of yellow corn kernels to a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently until well coated and glistening.
- Transfer the salad to a shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat your vegetables dry after washing to ensure the vinaigrette sticks and creates a glossy coating.
Wait to add the salt until right before serving if you are preparing this dish in advance, to prevent the cucumbers from releasing too much water.
