Sorry, not sorry! for my short absence from the Yes Chef Kitchen; I was off getting married! After being forced to delay our wedding back in April when COVID-19 came around, we decided that we would still get married in a small ceremony with just our parents and siblings. We had our tiny "COVID wedding" up in Newport, RI where we had originally planned it to be, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of our lives!!! I will be sure to share more (and pictures!) on our special day on the Foodie Adventures side of our blog, but for now; Summer Corn Salad!!
Summer is winding down and fall is approaching quickly, so get your fresh corn fix in now before everything becomes covered in cinnamon and cloves! (Fall is one of our favorite seasons around the kitchen, so GET READY!!!)
Corn salad is a delicious and nutritious alternative to serving a normal leafy green salad at dinner, or even serving buttery corn on the cob! Fulfill your body's desire for rainbow foods with this beautiful summer corn salad.
Ingredients:
4 Cups Fresh Corn, cooked
1/2 Cup Cucumber, sliced into quarter rounds
1 Cup Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1/2 Cup Feta Cheese Crumbles
1/2 Lime, squeezed
1/2 Cup Red Onion, chopped
2 Tsp. Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Black Pepper
1/4 Tsp. Salt (+ More for the water if you are boiling your corn!)
2 Tbsp. Fresh Basil, sliced
Directions:
Your first step in this SUPER easy summer corn salad recipe is to cook your corn. You can cook your cobs of fresh corn on the grill with a little olive oil to get some nice char marks or boil them! For this recipe I boiled them in water for about 30 minutes with 2 Tsp. of salt. The quantity of water really doesn't matter as long as it's suspending all the corn up from the bottom of the pot.
Once your corn is cooked, let them cool in a bowl for 5 minutes before handling, then slice the corn off of the cobs.
Place the corn in a bowl and combine with your cucumber quarter rounds, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
Pour on top the olive oil, black pepper, and 1/4 tsp. of salt. Mix well.
Top with feta cheese crumbles and freshly sliced basil.
Serve and enjoy!!
