Ingredients
  

4 cups ripe cherry tomatoes, halved (mixed colors for vibrant presentation)

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3-4 ears of corn)

1 medium red onion, finely diced

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the corn on the cob and boil for 3-5 minutes, until tender. Remove from water and let cool. Once cool, use a sharp knife to cut kernels off the cob.

    Chop the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, diced cucumber, and diced avocado.

      Add Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the fresh corn kernels and chopped basil leaves into the vegetable mixture.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

            Finish with Feta: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for an extra layer of flavor.

              Chill and Serve: For best results, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish!
