How to Make Spicy Thai Corn Salad

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water (about 2 cups) to a boil over high heat.
  2. Add 2 cups of corn kernels (fresh or frozen).
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. If using frozen corn, cook until tender.
  4. Drain the corn thoroughly in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  5. Place the corn in a large bowl.
  6. Add 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Gently toss to combine.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons Thai chili sauce (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  9. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture.
  10. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  11. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. Serve chilled.
