    Hello September!

    I honestly can't believe how quickly this summer has gone by! It feels like only a week ago I was enjoying the July's heatwave and swimming in the local lakes! But just before we move properly into the new season and summer disappears for another year, I have a delicious recipe for you to try!

    Grilled corn and feta salad

    Can you believe it's been over a year since I last posted a recipe for salad?!? This Greek salad made an appearance in July last year, and since then...well...somehow salads disappeared from the blog. I'm planning to expand this section in the future, so today's recipe seems like a good starting point!

    As sweetcorn is now in season, and I absolutely love cooking with it, I thought I will share this delicious and incredibly easy recipe for grilled corn and feta salad. It was inspired and adapted from one of my favourite food blogs out there, Half Baked Harvest.

    This salad will make a winning side dish, but it is equally good to be served as a main course, perhaps with some crusty bread or a cheeky portion of chips (no such thing as too many carbs, right?). There is a great selection of different vegetables, flavours and textures in this grilled corn salad, and I think this is what makes it so delicious. Sweetness of the corn and saltiness of feta cheese work wonderfully together!

    What ingredients do I need to make this grilled corn salad?

    The most obvious one will be a sweetcorn. You will need a couple of cobs or ears of corn. They can be grilled using BBQ, traditional oven with grill function, or simply by using griddle pan. You will also need about 150 g of cubed, good quality feta cheese. As far as the rest of the ingredients goes, you can add whatever your heart desires. Because the tomatoes are still in season, I'm using a mix of juicy baby tomatoes. There is also a cucumber, chickpeas, avocado and fresh basil.

    Dressing is made with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, shallot, lemon juice, honey, red wine vinegar and some dried chilli flakes.

    How to make grilled corn and feta salad?

    Firstly, grill your corn by using any of the methods mentioned above. I like to use my griddle pan, as it's quick and hassle free. If you are opting for this method, make sure the pan is super hot before placing the corn on it. Once the corn is in, grill it for about 10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure it cooks evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.

    Add all the rest of the ingredients into the bowl, then prepare the dressing. Gently heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small pan, then add finely chopped shallot. Fry it for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly to make sure it doesn't catch. Set it aside to allow it to cool a bit, then simply mix it with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad, gently combine it all together and enjoy!

      Those flavor combos sound amazing! Feta is one of my favorite cheeses to add to salads. I bet the grilled corn makes this salad so flavorful!

      That salad is gorgeous. I really like the idea of grilling the corn - gives it so much flavor. I could eat the salad as my entire meal - Feta cheese is simply the right addition to the salad. Sweet corn and salty feta - a great combination.
