Ingredients

  • 6 ears sweet corn, husked (or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn or canned corn, drained)
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 small cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup wild rice, cooked
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add corn. Cook covered for 5 minutes, or until tender. If using corn on the cob, remove corn from the cob after cooking.
  3. In a serving bowl, combine corn, blueberries, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, wild rice, and jalapeno.
