Cool Fresh Corn Relish

Fresh corn lends its own natural sweetness to this healthy and refreshing summertime treat — a welcome alternative to creamy coleslaw. Serve it as a light vegetable side dish.

Makes 12 servings, about 1/3 cup each.

Ingredients

• 5 large ears organic corn (about 3 cups kernels)
• 1½ cups finely diced organic sweet onion
• ¾ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (1 to 2 bunches)
• 3 Tbsps organic lime juice
• 2 Tbsps expeller-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Microwave corn, in the husks, on high until steaming and just tender, 7 to 9 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the husks and silk. (Alternatively, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove husks and silk from the corn and boil until just tender, about 5 minutes.) Slice the kernels from the corn using a sharp knife.
2. Combine the corn kernels, onion, parsley, lime juice, oil and salt in a medium bowl. Serve at room temperature or cold.
