Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the husked corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

    Cut the Corn Kernels: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, stand the cobs upright in a large bowl and slice down the sides to remove the kernels. Discard the cobs.

      Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped red onion. Stir gently to mix.

        Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the corn salad mixture. Add in the crumbled feta cheese, parsley, and cilantro. Toss everything gently to coat the salad evenly with the dressing.

            Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

              Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. For an extra touch, garnish with a few extra feta crumbles and fresh herbs on top.
