  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (Grape tomatoes can be substituted)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (or green onions for a milder taste)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (Can substitute with goat cheese or omit)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (Can omit if not preferred)

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (Lemon juice can substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (Adjust to preferred heat level)
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the kernels from the corn if using fresh corn, or drain and rinse canned corn.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add corn, and cook for 4–6 minutes until lightly charred, stirring often. Let it cool.
  3. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove seeds if large, and chop into bite-size pieces.
  4. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
  5. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Add the cooled corn, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and feta to a large bowl.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  8. Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving to let flavors blend.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider grilling the corn instead of pan-frying. Adjust seasoning of the dressing before adding to the salad.
