Corn and Cucumber Salad
Description
This salad starts by removing corn kernels from lightly steamed ears and mixing them with peeled, chopped English cucumber and very thin slices of red onion for contrasting textures and sweetness.
The dressing is made by whisking mayonnaise with buttermilk, lemon juice, dill, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, providing a creamy and tangy complement to the vegetables. The salad is tossed with the dressing and allowed to chill for about an hour, blending the flavors and keeping the ingredients crisp and cool.
This dish is ideal as a refreshing side alongside grilled or roasted dishes, offering a balance of sweetness from the corn and acidity from the dressing to brighten a meal.
