Ingredients

6 whole ears of corn (or 4 1/2 cups of frozen or canned corn)
6-8 whole radishes, washed and diced
2 whole limes, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

The first thing you will want to do is to cook the corn. Even if you decide to use frozen corn, you should cook it first and then let it cool. For fresh corn, first shuck it and add it to pot of boiling, salted water. Allow the water to return to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium and put a lid on the pot. Allow to cook for exactly five minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
In the meantime, wash the radishes well and pat them dry. Slice them into slices about a quarter inch thick. Then dice them into a small dice.
Next, add the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Once the corn is cool, cut the kernels from the cob and add them to the bowl with the oil and vinegar mixture.
Add in the diced rashes as well. Toss well to combine.
Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

If you want to use frozen corn or canned corn you can do that too. If using frozen corn, add about four and half cups of corn to boiling, salted water and return to a boil. Once boiling, drain and allow to cool. Canned corn does not need to be cooked, rather be sure to drain it well before making the salad.

If you make the salad ahead of time, do not add the lime juice or lime zest. Wait until a few minutes before serving to toss the salad with the lime juice and zest.
