Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Once boiling, add the fresh corn and blanch for 3 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  3. Transfer the cooked corn to the bowl of ice water using tongs to stop the cooking process.
  4. Remove kernels from the corn cobs using a sharp knife and place them in a bowl.
  5. Combine the cut corn with chopped tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced red onion, crumbled feta, and fresh herbs in a mixing bowl.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well-blended.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until evenly coated.
  8. Serve immediately or let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to meld flavors.
