- Combine the corn, cucumber, radishes, celery, olives and pickled peppers in a medium bowl. Add the vinegar, oregano and a pinch each of salt and pepper and let stand, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley and dill, toss and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the yogurt sauce on a large plate or platter and top with the corn salad. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO
High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Steps:
- Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
- Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

- Choose a variety of olives: There are many different types of olives available, so choose a few that you like. Kalamata, black, and green olives are all popular choices.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will also make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is cold-pressed and has a fruity flavor.
- Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked just until it is tender crisp. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, will add a nice flavor to your salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: Corn salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will fade.
