Print Recipe

A refreshing and creamy salad combining sweet corn, crunchy cucumber, and tangy feta, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or canned corn, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 medium cucumber (diced; English cucumbers recommended)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (finely chopped; or green onions for milder taste)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (or goat cheese, or omit for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped; can be omitted)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or more Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust according to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender, then drain and let it cool. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
  3. Next, add the feta cheese and cilantro to the bowl. You can skip the cheese and cilantro if you prefer.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and stir gently until everything is well coated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice or chili powder according to your preference.
  7. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For extra crunch, add diced bell peppers or radishes. If you want it spicier, add chopped jalapeños or more chili powder.
