  3. Add diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro to the corn. Gently stir together.

  5. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  6. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Allowing the salad to chill enhances flavor. Dress the cucumbers just before serving to maintain their crunch. A touch of lime juice can uplift the flavors.
