Ingredients:
- 4 cups (600g) sweet corn kernels
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
- 1 cup (150g) English cucumber, finely diced
- 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup (50g) red onion, finely minced
- 1/2 cup (60g) crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5ml) honey
- 1 clove (5g) garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh basil, chiffonade
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) black pepper
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels in a single layer and let sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until charred. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Dice the English cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, ensuring the cucumber pieces are roughly the same size as the corn kernels.
- In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Combine the charred corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss gently.
- Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil last to prevent the cheese from breaking down and the basil from bruising.
