Raw Corn and Radish Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing

• Recipe by Nick Fauchald

I rarely cook fresh corn in the summer because it's so much better straight off the cob. Here, I toss sweet, fresh corn kernels (preferably picked that day) with radishes and a puckery lime dressing flavored with jalapeños and honey.

Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2. 1 small jalapeño, seeded and coarsely chopped
3. 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
4. 1/4 teaspoon cumin
5. 1/4 cup vegetable oil
6. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
7. 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 4 ears)
8. 6 medium radishes, halved and thinly sliced crosswise
9. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
10. 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a blender, puree the lime juice, jalapeño, honey and cumin. With the machine on, add the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the corn with the radishes, parsley, red onion and dressing. Season the salad with salt and pepper, transfer to plates and serve.
