Corn, Tomato, Feta, and Basil Salad
My wonderful neighbor Jack gave me a huge load of fresh corn on the cob from his garden–he’s the best neighbor! I ended up making this corn, tomato, feta, and basil salad recipe to pair with some pork chops, a loaded Caesar salad, and dinner rolls for dinner. The corn was a bit crunchy, the feta was salty, while the tomatoes were sweet and juicy.
Corn, Tomato, Feta, and Basil Salad
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn, peeled and cleaned
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ yellow onion, diced
- 1 large handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp feta cheese, to taste
- 4 leaves of basil. chopped
How to Make a Corn, Tomato, Feta, and Basil Salad:
Carefully cut the kernels off the cobs. Side Note: I put a coffee cup upside down in a large bowl and placed the cob on top of the mug, which makes it easier to cut the kernels this way without making a big mess.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Add the corn kernels, tomatoes, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, and cook, stirring gently, for 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
Pour into a serving bowl and top with feta and basil. Serve and enjoy.
