This is a delicious, quick and healthy salad for late summer. Perfect for September, now that corn is getting nice and sweet and delicious!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 peaches (ideally slightly ripe but still hard
- 2 ears sweet corn
- 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 handful basil, sliced thinly (I used lemon basil: delicious!)
- Olive oil, salt & pepper
Steps:
- If you have a grill, preheat the grill
- Shuck the ears of corn, wrap them in plastic wrap, and microwave them for 5-7 minutes until you start smelling the sweet corn aromas wafting from the microwave. (If you don’t like microwaving, you can also boil them until cooked.)
- Unwrap & dry the corn, sprinkle with lime juice and salt, and finish on the grill to get some light browning all around (flip them every so often to get all sides)
- Slice the peaches into thin half moons
- Slice the corn from the cob. (Details: snap the ear of corn in half to create a flat surface. Lay the flat surface on the cutting board, and slice downwards to remove the corn from the cob.)
- Toss the corn, peaches, feta cheese and basil.
- Season with lime juice, olive oil, salt & pepper to taste
Voila! That’s it!
