Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 56 ears of corn)
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 23 tablespoons fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the corn: Boil, grill, or steam the corn cobs, then let cool and cut off the kernels. If using frozen corn, cook briefly and cool.
  2. Combine in a large bowl: Add corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and chopped herbs.
  3. Dress the salad: Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze in fresh lime juice. Toss until well coated.
  4. Add feta: Gently crumble feta cheese over the salad and toss lightly to combine.
  5. Season: Taste and add more lime juice, herbs, or salt as desired.
  6. Rest: Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

• For a smoky flavor, grill the corn before cutting off the kernels.
• Add diced avocado, sliced radishes, or jalapeño for extra color and kick.
• Swap feta for goat cheese or cotija, or use plant-based feta for a vegan version.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Wait to add feta and herbs if making ahead for best texture and flavor.
