• 5 ears fresh corn , in the husk
• 1 lime, juice of
• 1 ¼ cups olive oil
• 2 teaspoons honey
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• ½ cup red onion , finely chopped

Let cool enough to handle, then peel back the husks; the silks should come off. Stand corncobs upright on cutting board with fat end down. Cut straight down, slicing kernels off cobs.
2. Put lime juice in medium bowl, then gradually whisk in oil in a slow steady stream until fully incorporated. Whisk in honey, salt and pepper. Stir in corn, onion, cucumber, bell pepper and mint, breaking up strips of corn.
3. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
