  2. Wash and dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Peel standard cucumbers if desired for less bitterness.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, cucumbers, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently.
  4. Using two large spoons, toss the salad to ensure even coating with lime juice and salt.
  5. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to chill before serving.
