Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)

How to Make Creamy Corn Salad

1. Start by cooking the corn. If using fresh corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled corn kernels, crumbled feta cheese, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
4. Add the chopped parsley, chives, and red bell pepper (if using) to the bowl. Fold gently to incorporate the herbs and peppers without breaking the feta.
5. Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture. Frozen corn can be used if fresh is unavailable; just thaw it thoroughly before mixing.
• For a creamier texture, increase the amount of mayonnaise or add a dollop of sour cream.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed; fresh herbs can be added to suit your preference.

Easy Variations

• Swap out feta for goat cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
• Add cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and extra freshness.
• Incorporate diced avocado for creaminess and healthy fats.
• Toss in some cooked bacon bits for a smoky flavor.
• Replace the parsley and chives with cilantro and lime juice for a zesty twist.
