When summer corn is at its best, this is the salad you make with it. Sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, fresh basil, red onion, a light lemon vinaigrette, and a salty cheese finish come together in a simple, colorful salad that works with almost anything from the grill.

It’s fresh, crunchy, bright, and not weighed down with a heavy dressing. Serve it with grilled chicken, steak, burgers, fish, BBQ, or bring it to your next cookout. If you’re looking for an easy corn salad recipe, summer salad, BBQ side dish, or fresh vegetable side dish, this one belongs in the rotation.

INGREDIENTS

• 4-5 ears fresh sweet corn
• 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 3–4 Persian cucumbers, lightly peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup fresh basil, torn and thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 to 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous portion of salt.

2. Add shucked ears of corn to the boiling water, cover with the lid, turn off the heat, and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes.

3. Remove the corn from the water and set aside to cool without rinsing or placing in an ice bath.

4. Whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl until the honey is dissolved.

5. Combine the cooled corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and thinly sliced red onion in a large bowl.

6. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, toss thoroughly to coat, and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.

7. Thinly slice fresh basil leaves and gently fold them into the chilled salad mixture.

8. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and top with hand-torn basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese before serving.
