Notes
Fresh sweet corn is especially delicious during peak summer months. Canned corn can be used in an emergency - be sure to drain it well.
For a crisp, fresh texture, leave the corn uncooked. If you'd like a little color and sweetness, heat a skillet over medium high heat and cook the corn for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cotija cheese can be substituted for feta and basil or cilantro may be substituted for the parsley.
Can you make summer corn salad ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep the ingredients and dressing up to a day ahead. For best results, wait to add the dressing and feta cheese until shortly before serving.Nutrition
