Summer Mojito Corn Salad
This summer corn salad has been a go-to on our deck for years. It's loaded with seasonal produce and an unexpected mojito-inspired dressing for an unforgettable flavor combination.
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 4 ears of corn
- 2 c sugar snap peas
- 4 baby cucumbers
- 1 c fresh blueberries
- Ripe peach
- 20-30 mint leaves
- 0.5 c roasted salted macadamia nuts
For the Dressing
- Juice of a lime
- 1 tbsp honey (or agave)
- Generous salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Grill the corn ears and let them cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients. Trim the ends off the sugar snap peas, then cut the peas, cucumbers, and peach into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk. You may need to warm the honey up slightly to get it to mix well with the lime juice.
- To the bowl with the dressing, add the corn and sugar snaps. If possible, let them sit in the dressing for 15 minutes to absorb the flavor.
- Cut the mint leaves into very fine ribbons.
- Add the cucumber slices, fruit, and mint leaves to the salad and mix again gently.
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with macadamias.
