"My Mom has made a version of this for years. I think back then, she used mayonnaise; but, I prefer to use sour cream in my version. I also add a little heat in mine; and, plenty of fresh parsley. And, it is super simple to make; and, perfect for a potluck, BBQ, or every night dinner. The cucumber adds a nice refreshing crunch to this salad."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Dressing ... Add the sour cream, worcestershire, salt, and pepper, to a small bowl and mix. Remember, the worcestershire is salty; and, the jalapeno is spicy - so, I add a pinch of salt and pepper to start - you can always add more if necessary.
Step 2
Note: Cucumber - I like to use an english cucumber or seedless cucumber; but, if you use the classic 'every day' cucumber - de-seed the cucumber by using a spoon lengthwise, down the center of the cucumber. Then, small dice the cucumber and place on a plate, lined with paper towel to drain. You do NOT want a wet, watery salad. Just a couple of minutes it all it takes.
Step 3
Vegetables ... Corn - clean the corn, and remove all the silks. Cut the corn off the cob, and transfer to a large bowl. Yes, we are using RAW corn for this recipe. Also, add the scallions, red bell and jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers (which have drained), and parsley.
Step 4
Finish ... Add the dressing and toss to combine. Season once again with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate a good 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Also, this is NOT a real creamy dish; the corn is lightly coated in order to let the veggies be the star - not the dressing.
Step 5
Serve and ENJOY!
