Summer Corn, Tomato And Feta Salad Recipes For Summer

As the hot weather approaches, we will be looking forward to lighter, more refreshing salad recipes for summer. Say goodbye to those hearty, warming stews and casseroles, and say hello to summer barbecues with delicious side dishes. Three very versatile ingredients are summer corn, tomatoes and feta, so here are some ideas as to how to combine these to create some delicious main and side dishes.

1. Summer Grilled Corn Salad

If you love a good barbecue, this will act as the perfect side dish. A colourful mixture of grilled corn, feta cheese, tomatoes and basil, it’s super easy to make and will certainly leave you drooling for more. The best part – if there’s any leftover (highly unlikely, but you never know), this is one of the few salad recipes for summer which keeps well for lunch the next day! Of course, the fact that it is also incredibly healthy is an added bonus.

2. Raw Corn Salad with Tomatoes, Feta, and Herbs

If you don’t fancy spending time cooking your corn, you can just as easily take it off the cob raw. You could use these ingredients as the basis of a salad and bulk it up using a variety of different cooked beans, such as chickpeas, black beans, red beans, or even use olives instead. If you want to spice your dish up even more, you could add a dash or two of chilli, or some chilli flakes.

3. Toasted Summercorn Salsa

If you’re having friends round for drinks and nibbles, then this salsa might be a good choice. Being able to prepare it early not only allows the flavours to develop fully, but also ensures you have one less job to do when your guests arrive. It’s certainly a delicious dip, but could also be used as an alternative side dish for a barbecue, or even a filling for a tortilla.

You can find the recipe here!

4. Fresh Summercorn Salad with Tomatoes and Feta

This may sound not too dissimilar to the others, but trust me when I say this is not just your average salad. Ina Garten swears by the addition of apple cider vinegar and olive oil to her salad, as it provides a great compliment to the sweetness of the corn. A perfectly refreshing salad recipe for summer!

5. Sautéed Corn with Tomatoes, Feta and Basil

If you like growing your own vegetables, cherry tomatoes in particular, this recipe is a must! Once your tomatoes have ripened, toss them in with your fresh corn and enjoy the yummy results. This is a super quick option which should only take you fifteen minutes or less to prepare and tastes incredible with either grilled chicken or fish.

6. Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad

Cucumber is the perfect addition to any salad recipes for summer and will make them even more crisp and juicy. Add some farmer or cottage cheese to the mix and you’ve got yourself a beautiful combination of savoury and sweet food.

There’s a brilliant, easy to follow recipe for this here.

7. Grilled Sweetcorn with Feta and Chilli

This brings back fond childhood memories. I’ve always been a big fan of grilled sweetcorn, especially when it’s drizzled in melted butter or even in a delicious barbecue sauce. If this is even too plain for your tastes, why not sprinkle some herbs on it or wrap it in some sort of meat?
