Print Recipe

A bright and refreshing salad combining sweet corn, crisp cucumber, and juicy tomatoes, 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. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cook the corn by boiling it for 3-5 minutes. Once done, cool it down and cut the kernels from the cob. If using canned corn, make sure you drain and rinse it.
  2. Chop the Veggies: Dice the cucumber, cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and finely chop the red onion.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sour cream (or more Greek yogurt), lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
  6. Garnish: Add chopped cilantro on top if using, and give it one last gentle toss.
  7. Chill: For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
