Corn and Tomato Salad with Mint and Feta Cheese
Corn and Tomato Salad with Mint and Feta Cheese
4 ears of fresh corn (husked and cut off the cob)
1 cup of cherry tomatoes - cut in half
1 shallot - finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Lime Vinaigrette
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat for 2 minutes. Then add in the shallot and corn and allow it to cook on high heat for 6 minutes, moving it around enough but you want to get little char marks on the corn. Season with salt and pepper.
After 6-7 minutes, take it off the heat and set aside.
Now make the vinaigrette!
Simply mix all ingredients together with a whisk. Taste to see if it needs more salt!
Once the vinaigrette is ready you can assemble your salad!
In a large but pretty serving bowl, pour in the cooled corn and shallot, then add in the cherry tomatoes and mint. Pour the dressing over the salad and give it a good toss.
Last step is to top the gorgeous salad with a little fresh crumbled feta!
With love + salt
