A refreshing and flavorful corn salad with a zesty lime dressing and fresh herbs, perfect for any occasion.
Husk the corn and remove any silk.
Removing the silk thoroughly ensures a clean and pleasant texture.
Place the corn in a microwave-safe dish with a bit of water, cover, and microwave for 6 minutes, turning halfway through.
Microwaving the corn retains its natural sweetness and moisture.
Let the corn cool slightly, then slice the kernels off the cob.
Use a sharp knife to make slicing easier and safer.
In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the corn kernels.
Add the chopped cilantro and toss to combine.
Add the herbs just before serving for maximum freshness.
Serve the salad in a bowl and garnish with lime wedges if desired.
Serving in a colorful bowl enhances the presentation.
