Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 ½ cups cucumber (peeled or unpeeled, seeds scooped out if desired, diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 8.5 oz can whole kernel corn (drained and rinsed)
- 1 handful fresh parsley (chopped)
Dressing
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon (or lime)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt (plus extra ½ teaspoon for seasoning)
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the veggies. Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Decide whether to peel the cucumber; if it has large seeds, scoop them out before dicing. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh parsley. Combine the diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, parsley, and drained corn in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl or jug, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well emulsified and smooth.
- Toss & season. Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and corn. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning by adding an additional ½ teaspoon of salt if desired before serving.
Notes
- Peeling the cucumber is optional and based on personal preference.
- If the cucumber has large seeds, removing them helps improve texture and reduces excess moisture.
- Maple syrup or honey can be used interchangeably in the dressing depending on availability or dietary preference.
- Add freshly ground black pepper to taste to enhance the salad’s flavor.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a cooler, more melded flavor.
