Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan on the stove to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating a few times for even charring. Then remove to a plate.
- Once the corn is cool to the touch, use a large knife to shave off the kernels.
- Place the corn kernels, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs in a bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper, then stir together.
- If you'd like, garnish with crumbled feta before serving.
