Corn and Tomato Salad with Basil and Feta
Description
The salad uses fresh or frozen corn, steamed or cooked off the cob, combined with halved cherry tomatoes and diced English cucumber for varied texture and freshness. Fresh basil adds herbal notes, and crumbled feta cheese provides a salty, creamy contrast. The dressing blends avocado oil, fresh lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for a light, tangy coating that complements the vegetables.
The salad can be served chilled after resting briefly to allow flavors to meld, or at room temperature. It fits well alongside grilled foods or as part of a light meal. For a make-ahead version, half the dressing can be mixed in and chilled overnight, with remaining dressing added just before serving for freshness.
