Sweetcorn salad
Undervalued and underutilised, sweetcorn deserves more space in our summer ingredient arsenal.
Highlighting summer produce, this simple, refreshing salad makes a perfect pairing for barbecues and balmy evenings, alongside grilled meats such as chicken, steak, or fish.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• Fresh basil leaves, to garnish
METHOD
1. Whisk lime juice and olive oil together, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Leave corn fresh, or add with half of the butter to a saucepan on high heat. Cook for five to 10 minutes, or until charred to your preference, drizzling over the remaining butter once almost done.
3. Assemble corn, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl. Drizzle with the salad dressing and place basil on top. Serve, and enjoy.
