Corn Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn 5 ears or 41 ounces of canned corn
  • 1/4 large red onion diced (or 1/2 a small red onion)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 cup cucumber quartered (about 1/2 of an English cucumber)
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves cut into small strips
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • To cook fresh corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil, lightly salting it. After completely shucking the corn, put it in the boiling water. Bring the water back to a boil, and then cook for five minutes. Remove the corn and cut it from the cob. (Note: Fresh corn can also be used raw. If using frozen corn, make sure it is completely thawed and drained. If using canned corn, drain it well.)
  • Combine the corn, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, basil, and feta in a bowl.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pour over the other ingredients. Toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately. Recipe can be made before, adding the fresh basil just before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
