Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 cups corn (white or yellow corn, approximately 6 ears of corn, cut off the cob)
  • 6 scallions, diced (white and green parts)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, small diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and fine diced (you can use more or less to taste)
  • 1/3 cup cucumber, peeled and small diced (see the note below)
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half (grape tomatoes are fine too; obviously, you can add more or less to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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!
