Delicious Corn Salad made with fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, savory feta cheese, grilled corn, and a lemony herb dressing. This is the perfect, simple summer salad with loads of flavor!

Ingredients
- 6 ears Corn on the Cob husks removed
- 4-6 slices of bacon cooked til crisp, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
- ½ cucumber peeled and chopped
- ¼ red onion diced
- ⅔ cup crumbled Feta cheese or goat cheese
Corn Salad Dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs see note
- ½ teaspoon salt
- cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rub the corn with a little bit of olive oil, then grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until kernels begin to char. Allow to cool slightly before using a sharp knife to slice the kernels off of the cobb.
- In a large bowl combine corn, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and cheese.
- In a food processor or blender, combine all dressing ingredients. Pulse for 20-30 seconds until smooth. (Alternately, you can combine in a jar and shake vigorously).
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine, then serve. If making ahead, cover tightly and keep in fridge until ready to serve - leave dressing off until just before serving.
Notes
- Herbs for the dressing: Use what you have on hand! I used basil, dill, and parsley but cilantro, oregano and thyme are great additions too. If you don't have fresh herbs, use 2 teaspoons dried herb blend like and Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence (my favorite).
- Veggies: Feel free to add or swap any favorite summertime vegetables in this salad. Zucchini and yellow squash are some of my favorite swaps!
- Cooking the corn: My favorite method is to grill the corn (as written) but you can easily broil the corn in the oven or even boil it if you like.
- Making ahead: Toss all ingredients except for the dressing. Cover tightly and keep in fridge until ready to serve - toss with the dressing just before serving.
