Ingredients
  

4 large heirloom tomatoes, diced

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3-4 ears of corn)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: If using fresh corn, remove the husks and silk. To cook the corn, you can either grill it for a smoky flavor or boil it in salted water for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Once cooked, cool the corn in an ice bath, then cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced heirloom tomatoes, fresh corn kernels, chopped red onion, diced cucumber, and diced bell pepper. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.

        Mix Everything Together: Pour the dressing over the salad mix and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

          Add Fresh Touches: Fold in the freshly chopped basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese (if using) for added flavor and a creamy texture.

            Chill and Serve: Allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
