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.

SUMMER ANYTIME CRISP CORN SALAD



Summer Anytime Crisp Corn Salad image

This quick and easy salad is so tasty as a replacement for other salads at picnics, pitch-ins, and barbecues. No mayo to spoil, and goes together in a snap. I've left out the tomato and it's still great. In winter, I make this with hamburgers to remind us summer is not far away. I use super-sweet, sweet yellow and white, or Summer Crisp corn. If you use fresh sweet corn, be sure to blanch it first and then give it a bath in ice water to keep it crispy. Tasty ! Easily doubled -- this batch makes just enough for my husband and I.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Vegetables: Use fresh, ripe vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and crisp onions.
  • Cut Vegetables Evenly: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. This will also help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Don't Overcook the Corn: Corn only needs a few minutes to cook. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy. Cook the corn for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is just tender.
  • Use a Good Quality Dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors together in this salad. Use a dressing that you enjoy and that complements the flavors of the vegetables. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing with a touch of sweetness are both good options.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: This salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Corn, Sweet Onion, and Tomato Salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer salad that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, or a light lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. You can add other vegetables, such as cucumber or bell pepper, or you can use a different type of dressing. No matter how you make it, this salad is sure to be a hit!
