Remove husks and silks from the corn. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil, then add 1 teaspoon of salt. Place corn in water and boil for 10 minutes, just until corn is tender. Drain and remove the corn from the water. Let cool. Carefully slice corn kernels off of cobs.
Add spinach, tomato, and cucumber to a large salad or serving bowl.
