Follow The Directions

01

Step

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the shucked corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender-crisp. (7 minutes)

03

Step

Drain the corn and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its vibrant color. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. (5 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, and minced cilantro. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Just before serving, gently fold in the feta cheese to prevent it from crumbling too much. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, grill the corn before cutting the kernels off the cob. This will add a smoky char that complements the sweetness of the corn.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as basil or mint for a different flavor profile.
If you don't have aged white wine vinegar, you can substitute with regular white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
This salad is best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the feta cheese just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.

    I think it can be prepped ahead which is amazing. I hate doing last minute stuff when hosting.
