Ingredients
Scale
Grilled Corn
- 4 ears sweet corn, husked
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salad
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup fresh herbs (basil or cilantro), chopped
- juice of one lime
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup feta cheese
Instructions
- Heat the grill: Heat BBQ grill or grill pan to high heat to prepare for grilling the corn.
- Grill the corn: Coat the corn with vegetable oil using your hands or a brush. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even grilling and developing grill marks.
- Remove kernels: Once grilled, cut the kernels off the corn cobs and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine salad ingredients: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped fresh herbs (reserving some for garnish), lime juice, olive oil, and salt to the bowl. Stir everything gently to combine well.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and top with crumbled feta cheese and the reserved herbs for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, in-season sweet corn.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with your preference, such as parsley or mint.
- To make it vegetarian, ensure feta cheese is made without animal rennet.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- For a smoky touch, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika.
