Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears fresh corn (kernels removed - yields about 4 cups)
  • 3 peaches sliced
  • 1/3 cup red onion diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey raw
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Refrigerate while preparing the salad.
  • Prepare the corn. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender, or until the kernels turn bright yellow. Immediately transfer the corn to the ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain its vibrant color. Let it cool for a few minutes, then drain well. Slice the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife, and add them to a large bowl.
  • Toss and chill. Add the red pepper, red onion, sliced peaches, and chopped walnuts to the bowl. Give the dressing a quick whisk, then drizzle it over the salad. Gently toss everything until evenly coated. Once combined, cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. The flavors will meld during this time, making the salad even better. When ready to serve, give the salad another toss, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and toss once more to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

STORING:
  • I recommend enjoying this sweet corn peach salad fresh for the best flavor and textures. However, if you do have leftovers, keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Your salad should stay good for 1-2 days.
  • If you're not serving it right away, keep the dressing separate until just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
