Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Corn Salad
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F. Husk and silk the corn, then brush each ear with olive oil.
  2. Place the oiled corn on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes until charred.
  3. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes, then shave the kernels into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add halved tomatoes, diced cucumber, onion, and fresh herbs to the corn. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
  6. If using, crumble feta over the salad, toss gently, and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
