This raw vegan corn salad is super easy and absolutely scrumptious. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of corn. Well the vegetable variety anyway. I don’t cook with it very often as I can think of so many other more nutritious vegetables I prefer to work with. But there is something about the light zestiness of the lime juice and the heat of the chili that puts a zing in the step of even the most corn-phobic diner and bewitches the palate, creating culinary music of a very simple and universal nature. And the best thing about this salad? It doesn’t taste “corny”! I have added the quantities of chilli, garlic and lime juice that I like. I used frozen corn, but fresh is always best. The best part is, that either way, you don’t have to cook the corn. Just soak it in some hot water for a few minutes and then drain. Throw it together and season to taste. YUM! Ingredients:
4 cups organic corn kernels |
1 cup diced red pepper |
1 cup finely diced vine ripened tomato |
1 cup avocado, diced |
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon about 1 finely chopped serrano chili (to taste) |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh garlic (2-3 cloves) |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon cold pressed extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon celtic sea salt (to taste) |
freshly cracked black pepper |
Directions:
1. Soak the raw corn in some hot water for a few minutes and then drain. 2. Toss with the other ingredients, season to taste and then get corny! |
