Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (variety of colors for visual appeal)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the husked corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Drain and let it cool.

    Slice the Corn: Once cooled, carefully cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife, holding the cob upright in a bowl to catch the kernels.

      Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Toss gently to mix.

        Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the corn and tomato mixture. Add the torn basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss everything to ensure it’s evenly coated.

            Serve: Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a vibrant side dish or light lunch.
