Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 2 cups halved grape tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (add more to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the fresh corn kernels, halved grape tomatoes, and sliced green onions. These fresh veggies form the colorful base of the salad.
  2. Prepare Dressing: Pour in the fresh lemon juice and olive oil over the vegetables to create a bright and tangy dressing that enhances the salad’s flavors.
  3. Toss Salad: Gently stir the mixture to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing, making sure every bite is flavorful.
  4. Add Feta: Carefully fold in the crumbled feta cheese, giving the salad a creamy and salty dimension without overpowering the freshness of the veggies.
  5. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, balancing the flavors perfectly.
  6. Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or chill it for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season corn for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grape tomatoes can be substituted with cherry tomatoes if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of feta cheese to suit your taste for creaminess and saltiness.
  • Chilling the salad before serving enhances the flavor melding but serve within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
  • For added texture, consider tossing in toasted pine nuts or sliced cucumbers.
