Ingredient Notes
Fresh Corn – While fresh corn is best in this recipe, if it’s not available to you, you could make this salad with frozen fresh corn. No need to even cook it first, you can simply mix in the frozen corn and it will quickly defrost as it sits and chills in the fridge. I would avoid canned corn in this recipe as the flavor isn’t the same as fresh and frozen. Cherry Tomatoes – There are many varieties of small tomatoes and really any will do. Visually, I think this salad looks best with sweet, bright red tomato varieties. Green Onions Feta Cheese Fresh Basil – The fresh basil in this recipe provides a distinct flavor to the finished product. Dried basil will not be the same. Olive Oil – Extra virgin olive oil can sometimes have a strong flavor when chilled in salads like this. If preferred, use a light olive oil or other neutral oil. Red Wine Vinegar – Out of red wine vinegar? White wine vinegar, unseasoned rice wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar would all be acceptable substitutes in a pinch. Salt and Pepper
