Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

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.
