Notes
Use fresh corn to make this salad. Fresh corn tastes the best. Boil corn kernels in water for 5 minutes. Drain, immediately put it into ice-cold water for 5 minutes. Drain and use it.
You can also grill the corn for a smoky flavor.
If you are using frozen corn then thaw it, drain the excess liquid and use it to make a salad.
For meal prep, you can cut the vegetables and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Prepare the dressing when ready to serve the salad.
Tastes best when served chilled - After making the salad, cover with a cling wrap & refrigerate for an hour. It tastes best when served chilled.
This salad stays good at room temperature for 2 hours. Better to keep it refrigerated.
Be careful while adding salt to the recipe. Mayo and Feta Cheese have salt in them.
