Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ears sweet fresh corn, cooked + kernels cut from cob
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cups finely chopped zucchini, about 1 medium
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbsp. sour cream
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 lime juiced (about 1 Tbsp.)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper
Optional: 2 tsp. honey

Steps:

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cilantro, and feta cheese.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. I also love to add few teaspoons of honey to bring out the sweetness of corn but it is totally optional.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and throughly toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Before serving, stir the salad and taste. Does it need more salt? More lime juice? Or maybe even more feta or cilantro.
