Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (mix of red and yellow for color)

1 medium red onion, finely diced

1 cup cucumber, diced (preferably English or hothouse)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for vegan option)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the husked corn and boil for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove the corn, let it cool, and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and finely diced red onion.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Combine Everything: Add the corn kernels, chopped basil, and parsley to the vegetable mix. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. If using, sprinkle feta cheese on top.

          Chill and Serve: Allow the salad to sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Toss again gently before serving for a fresh finish.
