Grilled Corn Salad with Feta

Sweet summer corn doesn’t require much fuss to make it taste good, but the combination of sweet corn and slightly salty Feta cheese is simply magical, whether you enjoy this warm or cold! Toss in some fresh herbs and you have a winning salad combination. If you want a Mexican inspired version try this Mexican Street Corn Salad or try this Corn Tomato and Avocado Salad.

How To Grill Charred Corn

This is the easiest method for grilling corn with charred edges. Peel the corn and remove the silks. Lightly spray corn with a little oil then grill over direct heat, turning the corn often until it is charred all over, about 12 to 15 minutes. To shell the corn, let it cool a few minutes then transfer to a cutting board and hold the corn upright. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn off the cobb.

Variations and Tips

  • Corn can be grilled a day ahead before assembling the salad.
  • Can be eaten warm or cold.
  • Add fresh diced tomatoes.
  • Swap the red onion for chives.
  • For a Mexican twist, add fresh cilantro, avocado and lime juice.
