Main Ingredients- Canned corn, 1/2 can (approx. 150g)
- Small onion, 1/4
- Red bell pepper, 1/4
- Carrot, 1/8
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Drain the canned corn thoroughly using a sieve. Excess water can make the salad watery and less flavorful. Transfer the drained corn to a large bowl. Finely mince the small onion and add it to the bowl with the corn.
Step 2
Finely dice the red bell pepper and carrot. It’s important to chop them as small as possible for a pleasant texture. After dicing, gently squeeze out any excess moisture from the bell pepper and carrot with your hands before adding them to the bowl. This step helps control the salad’s moisture content and enhances its flavor.
Step 3
To the bowl containing the corn, onion, bell pepper, and carrot, add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a wonderful zest and balances the richness of the mayonnaise.
Step 4
Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of salt if it tastes bland, or add another tablespoon of oligosaccharide or sugar if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Step 5
Transfer the finished corn salad to a serving dish. It can be enjoyed immediately, or for an even more refreshing taste, chill it in the refrigerator for a short while. This salad is perfect as a brunch side, a filling for sandwiches, or as a delightful accompaniment to any meal!
