In my continuing quest to find new, easy, delicious side dish recipes on Pinterest, I recently found a plethora of Corn Salad recipes. In all honesty I hadn’t ever considered eating corn cold before so this type of salad had never really crossed my mind. Every recipe I found had one or more ingredients that I don’t like in them so, in the end I mixed and matched and created my own.
I made the recipe for our weekly small group dinner and my guinea pigs friends that tried it, enjoyed it and so did I. The salad is light and makes a great summer side dish. I might even bring it to this Sunday’s church picnic since it is such an easy recipe to make.
- 1 lb frozen loose corn
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/8 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
- Gather all of your ingredients and a sharp knife.
- Cook the corn according to the package instructions.
- Rinse the cooked corn under cold running water.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes into quarters.
- Finely chop the fresh basil.
- Chop the red bell pepper.
- Place the corn, tomatoes, basil, red bell pepper and feta cheese into your salad bowl.
- Mix the olive oil, salt and pepper
- Pour of the salad and toss well.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
I kept the red bell pepper in a separate container because I knew not everyone likes that vegetable.
