Roasted Corn and Cucumber Salad with Feta, Tarragon and Heirloom Tomatoes
Ingredients:
2 Ears of corn (yellow or white) - roasted on a grill or flame and removed from cob
1 English cucumber - medium diced
1 large ripe tomato (preferably heirloom)
1 Small red onion - cut crosswise (green and white part)
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled (goat cheese works nice here too)
Fresh tarragon
Sherry vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and peper to taste
This is a great salad that could have other things thrown in depending what is in your refrigerator: celery, fennel bulb, asparagus, green beans, red peppers, kalamata olives, fresh garlic, ect. And any other herbs like thyme, rosemary and oregano all would be wonderful as well.
The concept is to chop all the ingredients toss ina bowl with the olive oil and add vinegar. You could use Red Wine Vineager, Rice Wine or Balsamic if you prefer these or are all you have on hand.
Adjust seasoning as you like it, more vinegar, less herbs, a pinch of sugar. This is a take off a Greek salad so a bit of marinating compliments it well.
It would make a great entree with a grilled piece of Salmon, Chicken or Steak, or a side dish for a summer lunch or dinner.
