  • 1 cupfresh corn kernels(from2small ears or1large ear)
  • 1/4 teaspoonkosher salt
  • 1/4 cupHoney Vinaigrette
  • 2 ouncesfeta cheese, crumbled (about1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoonblack pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the beefsteak tomatoes into wedges and dicing the peach. If you’re using fresh corn, carefully remove the kernels from the cob.
  2. Combine the Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the tomato wedges, diced peach, and corn kernels. Sprinkle with kosher salt to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Honey Vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Serve: Divide the salad among four plates or serve it on one large platter. Top with crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper for an extra kick.

Notes

Choose ripe peaches: The sweetness of the peaches is crucial to balancing the flavors in this salad. Look for peaches that are firm but yield slightly to gentle pressure. Use fresh corn: While canned or frozen corn can be used in a pinch, fresh corn will provide the best flavor and texture. For an added smoky flavor, you can grill the corn before removing the kernels. Customize your salad: This recipe is highly versatile. Add your favorite greens, such as spinach or arugula, for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition. You can also swap out the feta for goat cheese or even blue cheese if you prefer a bolder taste.
