Ingredients

3 cups raw corn kernels (from about 4 cobs)
1 medium tomato, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup quartered and thinly sliced cucumber (preferably English cucumber)
1/2 cup chopped fresh leafy herbs (choose from basil, dill, mint, parsley and/or cilantro)
1/2 cup chopped radishes
1 medium jalapeño, very thinly sliced (omit if sensitive to spice)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, to taste
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese or 1 ripe avocado, diced

Steps:

In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, tomato, green onion, cucumber, herbs (don't skimp on the herbs!), radishes, and jalapeño.
In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until blended, then pour it over the salad. Toss to combine.
Add most of the feta or avocado (reserve some for garnish), and gently toss. Taste, and add more vinegar for more tang (I usually add another full tablespoon), or salt for more overall flavor. Garnish with the remaining feta or avocado.
Serve promptly, or chill for later. This salad keeps well for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, covered.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 ears corn, shucked
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons capers, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus 2 tablespoon parsley leaves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 cups cooked farro
4 ounces smoked mozzarella, cubed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1 small cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
1 avocado, peeled and cubed

Steps:

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Drizzle the corn with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Add the corn to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the corn starts to char, 6 to 8 minutes. Set the corn aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil with the capers, chopped parsley, vinegar and mustard. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the farro, mozzarella, tomatoes, olives and cucumber and toss to coat with the dressing. Cut the corn kernels from the cob. Fold the corn and avocado into the farro mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley leaves. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
