Description
Crack Corn Salad is a vibrant and refreshing salad made with a combination of frozen corn, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese, all tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the thawed frozen corn, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss everything together gently to mix the ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. This creamy dressing will help bring all the flavors together.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Refrigerate the Crack Corn Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.
Notes
For the best texture and sweetness, opt for high-quality frozen corn that has been thawed. This will ensure the kernels are plump and juicy.
Choose ripe, in-season cherry tomatoes and crisp, firm cucumbers for the most flavorful and visually appealing salad. Finely chopping the red onion will help distribute its flavor throughout the dish.
Store any leftover Crack Corn Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The salad will keep its fresh and crunchy texture.
You can prepare the Crack Corn Salad up to a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to serve. The flavors will only improve as the salad chills and the dressing fully coats the vegetables.
