Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 16 oz cans sweet corn
1 pint cherry tomatoes
6 medium sour pickles or 12 gherkin pickles
1/2 cup light mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Empty can of corn into medium size bowl. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. If they're particularly large, cut them in quarters. Add to bowl. Chop the pickles into small cubes. Add to bowl. Add the mayonnaise to the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Marinate for at least an hour. Best served cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. Look for cobs with tightly packed kernels and no signs of damage.
  • If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • To roast the corn, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the corn with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  • To grill the corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the corn, dressing, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro in a large bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
