Summer Corn Salad with Feta

By cookingwithcandi on September 12, 2024

This is a delicious and easy recipe which sometimes gets overlooked because I always make my Basic Fresh Corn Salad but this is a bit different because it has Feta Cheese and some thinly sliced radishes. I suggest you try both of these wonderful recipes -- super easy and super delicious for summertime cooking at it's finest.

You might want to check out my other wonderful corn salad which is titled Fresh Corn Salad it's a little different and might be more to your liking. I like both just fine and I think you will too! There are so very many variations of corn salad out there and especially in the summer when the corn is so fresh and delicious.

Ingredients:

4 cups of fresh corn ( it's so amazing in the summer) I actually used 6 ears of corn --boiled it for 3 mins and plunged into an ice bath to stop cooking. I did it the night before because it's just easier that way

1/3 cup of fresh cilantro chopped--if you don't like cilantro you can omit it, but it packs a lots of flavor--just saying.....

3 Tablespoons Lime Juice --I used my juicer because this is a lot of squeezing. Or buy the fresh lime juice in those little green bottles. (see photo) but nothing beats fresh in my book

1- 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, I used 1 . Feta was plenty salty here. You might want to add more, you can taste as you go.

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil--Extra Virgin is the way to go

1 cup thinly sliced radishes -- they are amazing this time of year but if you hate them you can substitute with a little red onion or scallion. I love radishes and I love the pop of color and crunch they provide

1 cup cherry tomatoes--sliced in 1/2 or into 1/4's

1/2 cup crumbled Feta-- I used a 6oz. container

Directions:

Cut corn off cobs--I know it's work but it's worth it and mix the corn with all ingredients adding cheese last. Yum!!! refrigerate and take out before you're eating and let sit at room temperature. I put salad together early in the morning and refrigerated all day. You can make it and serve it right away but it will be better after flavors marinate a bit.

Enjoy!
