Description

This Grilled Corn Salad is a vibrant mix of fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers, perfect for summer cookouts and quick meals. Enjoy a burst of flavors from fresh herbs and a hint of feta, making it a must-try for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 (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

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the corn lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even charring, then remove to a plate.
  2. Allow the corn to cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, shave the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
  3. Combine the corn kernels, quartered tomatoes, sliced cucumber, diced red onion, and chopped herbs in a large bowl. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. If desired, top the salad with crumbled feta before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding grilled vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
This salad can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Feel free to customize the herbs based on your preference.
