  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice water ready nearby. Once water in pot boils add corn and cook just 3 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool for a few minutes. Drain well.
  2. Cut kernels from corn then transfer to a large bowl.
  3. 3.Add tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, feta, parsley and basil.
  4. In a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper and pour over the salad, mix well and serve and keep in fridge until ready to serve.
  5. I love to serve this with grilled steaks, shrimp or chicken, it’s the perfect side dish!
