Summertime CSA Salad 

Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn
  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 4 radishes
  • 1 large bell pepper (I used a purple one)
  • 1 tiny red onion or large shallot
  • 2 tsps gochugaru or other mild chili powder
  • 2 tsps granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp kosher salt 
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 TBS lime juice
  • 1 C roughly chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 C mayo (optional)
Preparation

  • Cut the kernels off the cobs of sweet corn. 
    • Place a small ramekin or bowl upside down in a large mixing bowl. 
    • Hold the corn vertically and rest the base of the cob on the small bowl. 
    • Slice down the cob with a sharp knife. 
    • The kernels will fall into the big bowl - leave them there. 
    • Remove the little bowl.
  • Peel the cucumbers, cut the ends off, cut into quarters and slice into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Cut the ends off the radishes, cut into quarters and slice into 1/8-inch pieces.
  • Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds. Cut into bite size pieces.
  • Cut the onion/shallot in half and slice thin
  • Toss vegetables, spices and lime juice into a bowl and mix well
  • Cilantro and/or mayo can be mixed in before serving or served on the side for people to add their own.
