Grilled Corn Salad with Feta
Description
To prepare Grilled Corn Salad with Feta, fresh corn ears are husked and grilled over medium-high heat until blistered and charred in spots, enhancing the natural sweetness of the corn with a smoky layer. Once cooled, kernels are carefully cut from the cob. Red onion and crumbled feta are combined with the corn in a bowl.
Drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, the salad is tossed to coat the ingredients evenly. Chopped fresh herbs such as mint, cilantro, or parsley add a burst of freshness and a pleasant herbal note. Seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper rounds out the flavors. The salad can be served either warm or cold, offering versatility for various meal settings.
This dish works well as a side for barbecue, grilled meats, or as part of a picnic or potluck spread. The interplay of sweet, smoky corn with creamy, salty feta and crisp onion provides a balanced texture and flavor profile.
Grilling the corn a day ahead is possible and can help develop extra depth in flavor. Simply store the grilled corn in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the salad.
