  • 1 cup mayonnaise Use Halal-friendly mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Use Halal-friendly sour cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced jalapeños for heat Add for spiciness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh corn, shuck and clean the corn, then boil for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using frozen or canned corn, rinse under cold water to thaw or drain.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the corn kernels, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Fold in the diced red bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add diced jalapeños for extra heat.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist. For best results, let the salad chill for 30 minutes to meld flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best served cold.
