Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Sweet corn on the cob
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the ears of corn lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels develop a slight char and are tender. Remove from the grill and let the corn cool slightly.
While the corn cools, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro.
Carefully cut the kernels off the grilled corn by standing each ear upright in a large bowl and slicing downward with a sharp knife.
Add the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top and give the salad one final toss.
Serve the Grilled Sweet Corn Salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
