Grilled Corn & Feta Salad

Serves: 6 as a side

Ingredients

  • 6 ears of fresh corn, husked

  • 4 oz Winter Hill feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, small dice (remove seeds for less heat, keep for more kick)

  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rub the corn with 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred all over (about 10-12 minutes). Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cobs.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the grilled corn, crumbled feta, and diced jalapeño.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, basil, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup EVOO while whisking until well combined.

  4. Pour the vinaigrette over the corn mixture and toss gently to coat.

  5. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.
