This Summer Corn Salad combines summer's freshest ingredients. It's perfect for picnics, barbecues, potlucks or whenever! A quick and easy salad recipe that everyone loves!
Whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients (or use a shaker container and shake well).
Allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least an hour to allow the herbs to infuse the oil.
While the vinaigrette is setting, peel the corn and remove all silk. Brush olive oil all over the cobs. Season them with salt and pepper.
Grill the corn cobs for 12 minutes, turning as they char. Once the cobs have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to remove the kernels from the cobs. Make sure to cut the corn close to the core of the cob to get whole kernels.
In a large bowl, mix together the salad ingredients.
Toss well with the vinaigrette and serve.
Notes
You don’t have to grill the corn - it just adds another layer of flavor to this salad.
You could easily substitute feta for goat cheese. It tastes great in this salad as well.
You could use 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1 teaspoon of dried basil as a substitute for the fresh.
The bell pepper can be omitted if you don't enjoy.
White vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar would all make good substitutes in this recipe for the apple cider vinegar.
