Step 1

If using fresh corn, scrape the kernels off the cob. Steam the fresh or frozen (thawed) kernels in a saucepan with a little water until just tender, then drain into a colander. Run under cool water immediately until the corn is at room temperature. Allow to drain thoroughly.

Step 2

Combine the corn with the radishes, cucumber, tomato, and herbs in a serving bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well blended. Pour over the corn mixture and toss well.

Step 4

Cover the salad and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least a couple of hours, or up to a day (this salad can be made ahead of time). Stir occasionally to distribute the dressing. If you find that the dressing has pooled at the bottom of the bowl, drain off before serving.
