This Summer Corn Salad is a great summer dish made with fresh corn, fresh vegetables, Feta cheese, fresh herbs and a flavorful salad dressing. This salad is simply bursting with summer flavor and makes a perfect side dish for family or friend gatherings.
This corn salad is very easy to prepare. For this recipe it is best to use fresh corn. I usually like to grill the corn but you can also use boiled or roasted fresh corn for this recipe.
When corn is ready all you have to do next is to prepare the fresh vegetables and salad dressing. You will need some fresh tomatoes, cucumber, green chili pepper, red onion, avocado and your favorite fresh herbs, like parsley, basil or cilantro.
For the dressing you simply need to mix together some extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and spices.
In this salad I always like to add some Feta cheese for extra flavor and texture. But feel free to use your favorite cheese for this recipe.
Toss everything together and enjoy one of the best summer salads ever.
