- Juice of 2 limes (2-3 tsp)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 10 leaves fresh mint, finely chopped

Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized pot at least the width of your corn cobs with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add corn and cook until kernels are firm but tender, or to the doneness you like, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, mint, salt, and pepper until combined. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
- Wash lettuce and spin in a salad spinner if you have one. If not, allow to dry in a colander.
- Place chopped lettuce in a large wooden salad bowl.
- Transfer corn to a cutting board and slice off the kernels.
- Add corn to the bowl of greens. Add sliced peaches, then drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.
