Summer grilled corn salad
Summer grilled corn salad features fresh corn that is boiled briefly, then brushed with olive oil and grilled to add smoky flavor. The kernels are sliced off and combined with ripe tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil, and crumbled feta. Dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice, the salad offers a balanced taste of sweet, tangy, and savory notes. It can be made a few hours ahead and holds well for summer gatherings.
