I love corn! In the summer, we love grilling corn to go with our steaks or seafood. I also love a refreshing salad made with grilled corn and vegetables. It is so simple and quick that it is perfect for get-togethers and BBQs. The other best part about it is that you can prepare the ingredients in advance and bring it all together when you are ready to serve.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil divided
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups of grilled or thawed frozen corn
• 1 1/2 cups of cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1/2 cup of cucumber (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp fresh basil (minced)
• 1/3 cups feta cheese (crumbled)
  • You can also substitute the feta for a cheese like Ricotta, Halloumi, Queso Fresco, or Goat Cheese.
• 2 tbsp Italian dressing (optional)
• Additional ingredients include:
  • Bell peppers
  • Avocado
  • Onion
  • Grilled Zucchini

Instructions

1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Cook the corn in a skillet with remaining oil until tender.
3. Pour corn into a large bowl, cool slightly and add tomatoes, cucumber, and basil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Right before serving, drizzle with dressing, feta cheese, and Italian dressing (if desired).

Hope you enjoy this delicious summer salad as much as I do!
