Corn Salad
Description
Fresh corn is boiled briefly until tender and the kernels removed to form the basis of this salad. Cherry tomatoes add sweetness and juiciness, while diced cucumber and red onion contribute crunch and a mild sharpness. Fresh basil and parsley provide herbal freshness, and crumbled feta cheese adds a salty, creamy contrast.
The dressing combines olive oil with tangy red wine vinegar and lemon juice, balanced with salt and black pepper. This dressing coats the salad ingredients lightly, enhancing their natural tastes without overwhelming them. The salad is served cold, making it refreshing and crisp.
For best flavor and texture, the salad should be consumed within two hours of dressing. This timing preserves the freshness of the vegetables and prevents sogginess from the dressing.
