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.

Cook Mode

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!!
