This vibrant summer salad combines fresh vegetables with a zesty dressing for a refreshing and flavorful dish.
Combine the basil, olive oil, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Shaking the jar vigorously ensures the dressing emulsifies properly, creating a smooth and well-blended mixture.
In a large bowl, mix the corn, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Toss the salad gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes or cucumber slices.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.
For an elegant presentation, serve the salad in a clear glass bowl to showcase its vibrant colors.
