Ingredients

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

11/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 3/4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)

Directions

Whisk together lime juice, cilantro, mustard, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl until combined. Gradually whisk in oil until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
