Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears corn, husked
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing corn
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
One 15.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 green onions, sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Brush the corn with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes, rotating on all sides, until the corn has some nice charred spots. Let cool, and use a sharp knife to strip the corn kernels from the cob and into a large bowl. Add the rice, red bell pepper, tomatoes, beans, and green onions, tossing to mix.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, garlic, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper in a smaller bowl. Fold the dressing into the vegetables, and top with the crumbled cheese.
  • Toss well.
