Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 200 g corn kernels (either fresh or canned)
- 1 medium fresh green lettuce
- 2 medium onions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or sunflower oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons mustard (optional, for a stronger flavor)

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Start by washing the green lettuce under a stream of cold water. Make sure to remove any impurities or insects. Tear the lettuce into small pieces so it can be easily mixed with the other ingredients.

2. If using fresh corn, peel 1-2 ears and boil the kernels in salted water for about 5-7 minutes. If you choose canned corn, drain it well and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sodium.

3. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, torn lettuce, finely chopped onion (you can use red onion for a sweeter taste or green onion for a fresh note), and chopped dill. Dill adds an unmistakable aroma, but you can omit this ingredient if you don't like it.

4. In a small bowl, prepare the dressing. Mix the olive oil or sunflower oil with lemon juice and mustard, if you choose to use it. Add salt to taste and mix well until the ingredients are well emulsified.

5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently mix so that all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to crush the lettuce in the process!

6. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving. This step allows the flavors to combine and the salad to become even more flavorful.
