Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ears fresh sweet corn, cooked and cooled, kernels removed (approximately 2 cups)
- 4 mini cucumbers, sliced thinly
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup red onion, sliced thin
- 1/3 cup olives, sliced (green or kalamata, pitted)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, gather the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and dijon mustard. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth emulsion. Season your dressing with a dash of salt and pepper, adjusting to your desired taste.
- In a spacious salad bowl, bring together the corn kernels, cucumber slices, halved tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced red onion, and olives.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture in the bowl. Using salad tongs or hands, gently toss until every bite-sized piece is coated in the dressing.
Notes
Ensure corn is cooked just right, retaining a slightly crunchy texture. Don’t add avocado too early to ensure it remains fresh and doesn’t brown. Pat ingredients dry to prevent diluting the dressing.
