Corn Salad
Melissa Ben-Ishay
When you have juicy summer corn, make this salad. The simple dressing highlights nature’s flavors. Use your favorite fresh herbs (and/or whatever you have growing) to make it your own. I love adding feta for an extra salty bite, but you can leave it out to make it vegan.
Ingredients
- 3 ears of sweet corn, shucked
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 5 scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
- ½ teaspoon salt, more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta
Directions
Add the corn to a large pot of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, let the corn sit in the water for 5-10 minutes.
- While the corn cooks, combine the garlic, scallions, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, chives, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Cut the corn off the cob while it’s still somewhat hot—this will help soften the garlic and bloom the aromatics.
- Stir to combine and adjust seasonings to taste. Top with crumbled feta and serve. Best enjoyed with a spoon!!
