Instructions

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly brush the corn with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Grill the corn for about 8 to 10 minutes, rotating occasionally until charred. Once done, remove from the grill and let it cool.
Using a sharp knife, carefully shave the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
Add the corn kernels, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh herbs into the bowl.
Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Optionally, top with crumbled feta before serving.

Notes

Grilling the corn enhances its sweetness and adds a smoky flavor.
Feel free to customize the herbs according to your taste or what’s available in your kitchen.
This salad can be made a few hours ahead of time and chilled for enhanced flavors.
