Cucumber Corn Salad

Summer months are marked by the abundance of cucumber and mangoes. Adding cucumber to our diet increases the fiber content and improves hydration. Here's a simple cucumber salad recipe.

Ingredients:

Cucumber - 2 no, cut into fingers*

Sweet corn - steamed or frozen, half cup

Salt - to taste

Pepper - ⅛ teaspoon, adjust to taste

Olive oil - 2 teaspoons

White sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon

Black sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon

* I have used long cucumber; you may use desi cucumber or English cucumber as well.

Method:

• Roast the sesame seeds in a kadai till they start popping. Keep aside to cool down.
• In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt and pepper well to form salad dressing.
• If you are using frozen sweet corn, allow it to thaw for 20 minutes.
• Add in cucumber pieces and sweet corn to the bowl and mix well. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes.
• Finally add in roasted sesame seeds and mix well. Your salad is ready!
