Cucumber Corn Salsa Salad
This is a salad and dip combo we've already eaten twice this week, cucumber, corn, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño, dressed simply with olive oil and lime.
It's genuinely one of the easiest things in this whole series. Everything gets diced, tossed together, and it's ready, no cooking required.
It holds up well in the fridge for a couple of days, so it's an easy one to make ahead.
Cucumber
Hydration and silica
Cucumber is mostly water and contains silica, which supports collagen and keeps skin hydrated.
Tomato
Lycopene
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to protecting skin from sun and environmental damage.
Corn
Lutein and zeaxanthin
These antioxidants support skin health and help protect against everyday oxidative stress.
