Recipe for a 100 Degree Day

I got this recipe from Better Homes & Gardens (can't remember which month), but I couldn't find it online in their recipe index. It takes minimal prep and is a cold salad. Nice for when the weather is over 100 degrees outside and the thought of turning on the oven or stove makes one feel faint.

Corn Salad

Start to Finish: 20 minutes

1/4 cup lime juice (or juice from 1 1/2 limes; I used 2 whole limes)
1 T. honey
1 jalepeno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 T. snipped fresh cilantro or 1 T. snipped fresh mint (I used 3 tsp dried cilantro)
1/4 tsp salt
6 fresh ears of corn, husked and cleaned; or 3 cups frozen whole kernel corn, thawed (I used the frozen/thawed corn)
1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves (I used a whole bag of salad spinach)
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped (I just diced it)
3/4 cup seeded, chopped cucumber (I seeded and diced a whole cucumber)

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey until well-combined. Stir in jalapeno pepper, cilantro, and salt. Carefully cut corn kernels off cobs. Add to lime juice mixture. Stir in spinach, tomato, and cucumber. Serve immediately. Makes 9 (2/3 cup) servings. (If you make this the entree, I think it would be 4 servings.)
