Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

    Grill the Corn: Place the husked corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let cool.

      Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

        Chop the Veggies: While the corn is cooling, chop the red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

          Cut the Corn: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped basil to the bowl with the corn.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.

                Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and add more salt and pepper if needed.

                  Serve Chilled: The salad can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
