Blueberry Corn Salad

"When fresh sweet corn and blueberries are at their peak ripeness, this summer salad with cucumbers, radishes, and chopped jalapeno chiles makes a great salad for barbecues."

Ingredients
5 ears fresh sweet corn
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium cucumber, chopped
1 1/2 cups blueberries
1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco

Directions
1.Remove husks and silks from corn. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. For a gas or charcoal grill, grill corn on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally or until tender and lightly charred. (Or for a grill pan, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill corn on the grill pan for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and lightly charred.) Cut kernels from the cobs.
2.In a medium bowl combine corn, cucumber, blueberries, red onion, radishes, jalapeno, and cilantro.
3.In a small screw-top jar combine lime zest, lime juice, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and honey. Cover and shake until honey dissolves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add to corn mixture and toss to coat. Top with queso fresco.
