Description
A juicy and colorful mix of sweet corn, ripe peaches, and fresh herbs for the perfect summer salad.
Ingredients
Salad:
3 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears; grilled or boiled)
2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced or diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Optional: 1 avocado, diced
Honey Lime Dressing:
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Pinch of sea salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Cook the corn: Grill or boil corn for 3–4 minutes until tender. Let cool slightly, then cut kernels off the cob.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine corn, peaches, tomatoes, red onion, basil, and avocado (if using).
Dress and toss: Pour the honey lime dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Notes
Corn prep tip: For extra flavor, grill the corn until lightly charred.
Cheese swap: Goat cheese works well instead of feta.
Make-ahead: Prep dressing and chop veggies ahead of time, then assemble before serving.
Protein boost: Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
