A Cure For Spring Fever

Recently, I decided to make a simple Corn Salad to help curb the spring fever symptoms. I picked up a bag of frozen corn and a pint of grape tomatoes, then shopped the cheese aisle for just the right one. My eyes went right to the package of crumbled feta.

Another cure for the fever is this Creamy Black Pepper Cucumber Salad. It's a tasty combination of Miracle Whip and sweet yellow onions seasoned with salt, black pepper, and dill. So refreshing and delicious!

Ingredients For Corn Salad With Tomatoes

The tangy taste of feta cheese with this lightly sweetened and peppered dressing is perfect for our corn salad. The simple ingredients combine for a refreshing salad perfect for making ahead on busy days.

Individual bowls of corn, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, a jar of vinaigrette and some green onions on a wooden board for Corn Salad With Tomatoes.

The Dressing

  • apple cider vinegar - as sweet vinegar flavor
  • sugar - to sweeten the dressing
  • salt - for flavor
  • red pepper flakes - to feel the heat
  • garlic clove - freshly pressed
  • extra virgin olive - a healthy oil

The Salad

  • whole kernel corn - fresh or frozen
  • grape tomatoes - red or multi-colored
  • green onions - for a mild onion taste
  • feta cheese crumbles - an aged brined curd cheese

NOTE: Feta was initially made in Greece with sheep's milk, sometimes mixed with goat and cow's milk. Did you know that feta is easy to digest, lower in fat and calories compared to other cheeses, and is a good source of protein? It's also a good probiotic. You can read more about it here from NDTV Food.

Instructions For Corn Salad With Tomatoes

Starting with apple cider vinegar, a little sugar and garlic, salt, and olive oil are added to the dressing. But here's the kick, it gets a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Make the dressing by adding all ingredients into a small mason jar, screwing the lid on tightly, and shaking until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add all the salad ingredients in a large bowl, pour the dressing over the salad, then toss until the veggies and cheese are coated well with the dressing.

There is no marinating this salad; you can serve it immediately, but the colder it is, the better. If using frozen corn, it defrosts quickly and helps to cool the entire dish. I rinse the frozen kernels before tossing them in with the other ingredients.

This Corn Salad With Tomatoes takes minimal effort but offers lots of eating enjoyment.

Ooh, it's so good! The sweet and hot together make me want to eat the whole salad in one sitting. Not really. I just ate half!

Top Tip

The salad keeps well in the refrigerator for a day or two but looks fresher when served soon after it's tossed with the dressing.

      Haven’t thought about that one. Maybe a Parmesan?
