Mexican Cucumber Salad

Print Recipe

A refreshing and vibrant Mexican Cucumber Salad with fresh cucumbers, sweet corn, zesty lime, and fragrant cilantro.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Persian cucumbers (or 1 large English cucumber), sliced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of Tajín or extra chili powder for garnish (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your cucumbers. Slice them thinly to ensure maximum crunchiness.
  2. If using fresh corn, cook it briefly until tender, then let it cool. If using canned or frozen corn, just make sure it’s thawed.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, corn kernels, finely diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is well-coated.
  6. For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Tajín or extra chili powder on top before serving.

Notes

Best served fresh but can be chilled for enhanced flavors. Keep in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days.
