This amazingly simple salad will be a crowd-pleaser as quickly as it can be made. These specific ingredients come together beautifully. It is their natural taste and texture that do the trick!
Ingredients:
- Chopped cucumbers - 2 cups
- Chopped red bell peppers - 2 cups
- Corn on the cob - 2 cobs (or) roasted corn kernels - 1 cup
- Feta cheese (or) Vegan Feta - 0.5 cup
- Crushed/chopped rosemary (or) lavender herb - 2 tsp
- Lemon - 1
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Salt - as per taste
- Black pepper powder (or) red chilli flakes - 0.5 tsp (optional)
Method:
- Zest the lemons (optional) and squeeze the juice
- If using, roast and de-kernel the corn on the cob
- Chop the cucumbers and red bell peppers into small cubes
- Add lemon juice and zest
- Add oil
- Top with feta cheese and the chosen herb
- Sprinkle salt
- Sprinkle black pepper (or) red chili flakes, if using
- Toss gently with a salad spoon
- Serve fresh
Tips and Tricks:
- Zesting lemons is optional. But it does add to the flavor
- If preparing ahead of time, do not toss the ingredients together or add salt. This will prevent cucumbers from releasing water. This keeps the salad crunchy and tasty
- Use only one of the herbs as each one has its own strong and distinctive flavor
- It is better to skip black pepper (or) red chili flakes as the herbs, cheese and veggies have a nice natural flavor on their own
