Basil Chive Cucumber & Corn Salad


This recipe is from Pinterest. I strictly wanted a cold salad that was crunchy and easy that I could make ahead for a dinner party. While this was good, it has potential to be so much more. Next time I make it, I plan to add red onions and more spices. Not sure which ones yet, but that's the joy of getting to play with your food. 


INGREDIENTS
3 cups cooked cut corn (about 4 cobs ... I soaked them in boiling water for only 2-3 minutes. I didn't want them to get soft.)
2 cups cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped (about 1 large cucumber)
1/2 cup basil, chopped
1/4 cup chives, snipped
2 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
Salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the corn, cucumber, basil and chives. Stir in the mayonnaise. Add salt & pepper to taste. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until serving time.
