Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add corn ears and cook for 6-8 minutes until kernels are tender and bright yellow. Remove with tongs and let cool completely on a cutting board.
- 2
Once corn is cool enough to handle, stand each ear upright in a large bowl. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut downward to remove kernels from the cob. Rotate and repeat until all kernels are removed.
- 3
Add sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and diced red bell pepper (if using) to the bowl with corn kernels. Toss gently to combine.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, lime zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined and honey is fully dissolved.
- 5
Pour the honey lime dressing over the corn mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
