Creamy Cucumber Tomato and Egg Salad

Ingredients
For the Salad:
2 cups sweet corn kernels (cooked, cooled, and drained)
2 medium cucumbers (diced)
4 large hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped/quartered)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
For the Creamy Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Method of Preparation

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes, peel, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dice the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion. Ensure the cooked corn is thoroughly drained and cooled.
  3. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, and fresh lemon juice in a small mixing dish until it is smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix the sweet corn, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Dress and Throw: The creamy dressing should be tossed with the salad ingredients. Fold carefully with a spatula or spoon until evenly covered.
  6. Chill and Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Before serving, cover and chill for around 30 minutes to allow the tastes to combine.
