Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sweet Corn Kernels See notes below
  • ¾ cup Bell Pepper finely chopped
  • ½ cup Tomatoes finely chopped
  • ½ cup Onion finely chopped
  • 4-5 Olives (sliced) + couple extra for garnish
  • 4-5 Jalapeno Peppers (sliced) use 1 if fresh or 4-5 if using canned or soaked in brine

Salad Dressing

  • 1 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Za'atar Spice Powder
  • 2 Limes or 1 Lemon Juice to be extracted
  • ¼ tsp Smoked Paprika Powder
  • Himalayan Pink Salt to taste

1 cup is 250ml, 1 tbsp 15ml, 1 tsp 5 ml

Instructions

  • In a clean dry bowl, add all the chopped vegetables (corn, pepper, tomatoes, onions) along with olives and jalapenos.
  • In a bowl or glass jar, add the ingredients listed under "salad dressing" above and mix / shake well. Now pour this onto the vegetables and corn and give it a good mix.
  • Serve immediately or if serving later, add the dressing just before serving.

Notes

  • I have used Instant Pot to cook Corn on the Cob. After cooling, they were sliced using a sharp knife and the soft kernels were used for the salad recipe. 
  • If you plan on carrying this salad to work, please pack the salad dressing separately (in a jar) and mix it just before you are ready to eat. 
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed a day later.
