- Prepare the Corn
Blanch the corn kernels in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. This crucial step ensures perfect crisp-tender texture.
- Prepare the Green Onions
Finely slice the green onions on a diagonal, separating the white and green parts. This technique adds visual appeal and ensures even distribution of flavors.
- Make the Dressing
Whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooled corn kernels and sliced green onions. Keep some green parts for garnish.
- Dress the Salad
Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. Don't overdress - the vegetables should be lightly coated, not swimming in dressing.
- Final Touches
Garnish with reserved green onion tops and a fresh crack of black pepper. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
