Recipe type: Salad

Serves: 4

Ingredients

·       3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

·       1 tablespoon lime juice

·       ¼ teaspoon salt

·       1½ cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed

·       1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

·       ½ cup finely chopped cucumber

·       2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

·       ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

·       2 tablespoons Italian dressing (optional)

Instructions

1.     Whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

2.     Cooking corn in a skillet with remaining oil until tender. (I didn't cook it, just used some leftover ears of corn plus some frozen, that I cook briefly in the microwave)

3.     Pour corn into a large bowl, cool slightly and add tomatoes, cucumber, and basil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4.     Right before serving, drizzle with dressing, feta cheese and Italian dressing (if desired).  I squeezed a lime over, a little olive oil, some S&P and a splash of Olive Garden Italian dressing.
