Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups corn (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise can substitute with yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion adds a sweet bite
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese for a salty touch; blue cheese can be used for bolder flavor
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro optional but adds freshness
  • 1 unit lime (juice of 1 lime) to brighten the dish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced red onion, and feta cheese.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and stir gently until everything is well-coated.
  4. Add chopped cilantro, if using, and give the salad another gentle stir.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Consider adding diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or different cheeses for variations. Serve the salad as a side dish or alongside grilled meats.
