Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 cups halved grape tomatoes
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (plus more to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved grape tomatoes, sliced green onions, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Stir the ingredients together to create the salad base and dressing.
- Gently stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to your personal taste.
- Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- Stir in the feta cheese gently at the end to keep it from breaking apart too much.
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels cut from the cob, although canned or frozen (and thawed) can also be used.
- The salad can be made ahead of time and chilled, but it’s best to add the feta just before serving.
