Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the husked corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is evenly charred. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Cut the Corn: Once cooled, carefully slice the corn kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl.

      Combine Vegetables: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and finely chopped red onion to the bowl with the grilled corn.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

          Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, then gently toss to combine until all ingredients are well coated.

            Add Feta and Basil: Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped basil, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the salad.

              Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the salad either at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant grilled corn salad!
