Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Side dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small red onion (about 100g), thinly sliced
400g sweetcorn (or 2-3 corn cobs, kernels stripped off)
drizzle of rapeseed oil (or another neutral oil), for frying
2 tsp butter
20g chives, finely sliced
80g parsley, chopped
200g feta, broken into chunks (ensure vegetarian, if needed)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Put the onion in a bowl, cover with water and leave for 5 mins. Drain, rinse and set aside on a sheet of kitchen paper to drain.
  • Fry the sweetcorn in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat for 4 mins, stirring regularly until it starts to colour. Add a drizzle of oil and the butter, stirring to coat. Cook for another few minutes, or until the kernels are browned all over and a few of the kernels are darker at the edges. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  • Once cool, mix the corn with the drained onions, chives, parsley and feta. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Taste for salt - be careful not to add too much as the feta is quite salty.

CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, FETA AND MINT



Corn Salad With Tomatoes, Feta and Mint image

Fresh raw corn shucked from the cob is ideal here. The juice from the tomatoes delivers just the right amount of acidity, so there's no need for vinegar. Eat this as is, by the bowl, or toss it with cooked rice or beans for a more filling meal - you'll want to add oil and vinegar accordingly. In midsummer, with peak-season produce, there is nothing better.

Provided by wolfnet

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper for vinaigrette together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add corn, cover, and steam until just slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • While the corn is steaming, core each tomato and cut crosswise into 4 thick slices.
  • Carefully remove corn from the pot and remove kernels by running a knife down the sides of the ears.
  • Place one tomato slice on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette (using up about 1/3). Top with a little feta cheese and onion, then sprinkle with corn kernels, basil, and chives. Continue layering the ingredients, ending with a tomato slice, herbs, and cheese to garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. Fresh corn will have bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid corn that has dry or brown husks, or kernels that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Use a variety of colors of corn. This will add visual interest to your salad. You can use yellow, white, or even purple corn.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender-crisp.
  • Let the corn cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavor of the corn. A simple vinaigrette or olive oil and lemon juice dressing is a good option.
  • Add some crunch to the salad. This can be done with chopped walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
  • Add some sweetness to the salad. This can be done with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
  • Add some herbs to the salad. This will add flavor and freshness. Some good options include basil, cilantro, or mint.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Corn salad is best when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Corn salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of colors, flavors, and textures, corn salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
