Instructions

Prepare the Corn:
- If using fresh corn, cut it off the cob and sauté for 2-3 minutes in a dry pan for extra sweetness (optional). Let it cool.
Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
- Pour the dressing over and toss gently to coat.
- Fold in feta cheese and avocado just before serving.
Chill & Serve:
- Let sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra sweetness, sauté the fresh corn before adding it to the salad.
You can skip the cheese or avocado if you want to keep it lighter.
