Roasted Corn & Peach Salad

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:

  1. If you have a grill, preheat the grill
  2. 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.)
  3. 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)
  4. Slice the peaches into thin half moons
  5. 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.)
  6. Toss the corn, peaches, feta cheese and basil.
  7. Season with lime juice, olive oil, salt & pepper to taste

Voila! That’s it!
