Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Brush each ear of corn with olive oil to coat evenly.
Place the corn and red bell pepper on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the corn kernels are slightly charred and the bell pepper skin is blistered.
Transfer the grilled corn and bell pepper to a cutting board. Let them cool slightly until they can be handled.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the kernels off the cob and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the charred skin off the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and dice it finely. Add it to the bowl with the corn.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, and chop the cilantro. Add these ingredients to the mixing bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
