Ingredients

  • 4 ears sweet corn
  • 2 tablespoons herbed butter, softened
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  • 8 leaves basil, sliced thin

Dressing:

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 medium lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Brush corn with herbed butter.
  • Place the ears of corn on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning as needed until corn is charred and cooked through. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, so the corn is easier to handle.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a large bowl and whisk until thick and blended. Cut the corn from the cob and add the remaining ingredients, except the feta cheese, to the bowl. Stir gently to coat the salad with dressing.
  • Cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. Before serving add the feta cheese and mix to combine. Salt and pepper the salad to taste. Recipe makes 8 servings.

Notes

How to make Herbed Butter?
To make herbed butter, I simply add dried herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, chives, dried basil, parsley and oregano to a stick of softened, unsalted butter. Mix it well and brush it on your favorite meats and vegetables on the grill.
If you don't use it all, transfer the remaining butter mixture to a piece of parchment paper. Roll it into a log, then fold and seal the ends. Label the butter and place it in the freezer for about an hour to harden. Slice off a disc whenever needed for grilling or for use in a recipe.
