Ingredients

Corn Salad

  • 4 ears of corn shucked and silks removed
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes quartered
  • 1 English cucumber sliced and quartered
  • ½ medium red onion diced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (choose tender herbs like parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, mint, and tarragon)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: crumbled feta

Instructions

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan on the stove to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating a few times for even charring. Then remove to a plate.
