Description

Corn Feta Salad is a bright, refreshing side dish that combines sweet corn, tangy feta cheese, and fresh herbs. It’s perfect for summer cookouts, potlucks, or a quick weekday lunch.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes or diced jalapeño for heat

Instructions

If using fresh corn, boil or grill it and cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen, thaw and drain; if canned, drain well. In a large bowl, combine corn, feta, red onion, and herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Toss gently to mix. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes or jalapeño. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill and enhance flavor.

Notes

Grilling the corn adds a smoky depth to the salad. Can be made ahead—just add the feta right before serving for best texture. Pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip with chips.
