Instructions

Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating for even charring. Remove the corn to a plate.
Once cooled, use a large knife to shave the kernels off the cobs.
In a bowl, combine the corn kernels, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
Garnish with crumbled feta if desired before serving.

Notes

Grilling the corn enhances its natural sweetness; ensure to rotate for even cooking.
Use any combination of fresh herbs for varied flavor profiles.
This salad can be made ahead of time; just add herbs and feta right before serving.
