Street Corn Creamy Cucumber Salad Fresh Holiday Twist
A refreshing fusion salad combining crisp, salted English cucumbers with smoky charred sweet corn and a tangy creamy lime dressing. Topped with crumbled feta and a sprinkle of chili powder, it offers a perfect holiday dish with contrasting textures and vibrant flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (grilled or charred)
- 1/4 cup full-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
- Chili powder, for dusting
- Salt, for cucumbers
Instructions
- Thinly slice English cucumbers and toss with salt in a colander. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- While cucumbers drain, heat a skillet over high heat. Add corn kernels and char on all sides, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice to create a creamy dressing.
- Pat cucumbers dry thoroughly to maintain crispness. Toss with charred corn, dressing, and feta cheese.
- Just before serving, transfer to a chilled bowl and season with chili powder. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.
Notes
Use halal-certified feta cheese if required.
Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangier option.
Store the salad at room temperature for up to 2 hours before adding dressing; refrigerate after preparing the full mixture.
Serve chilled as a make-ahead holiday side.
