Corn Cucumber Salad
So I recently started having Salad for my breakfast when I have to make only for myself. And my newfound love is this Corn Cucumber Salad. I started buying Cucumbers to make especially this salad. As with most of the salads, this is too easy to make. For the dressing, I don’t use any fancy dressings. Just add simple spices with a hint of lemon juice makes this salad a great breakfast.
You can customize this with your favorite veggies.

How to make corn and cucumber salad
As I said earlier, making salads is easier. The only thing that needs time is chopping. Use a food processor to make the chopping part easier. Just chop the veggies and add the jeera powder, and salt with a dash of lemon juice. The delicious Corn Cucumber Salad is ready to relish. I like to have this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I used Corn, Cucumber, and Carrot. Hence I fondly call this 3C Salad.
