Flavorful and bright, this Easy Corn Salad is always a crowd-pleaser. Made with fuss-free frozen corn, this salad can be enjoyed all season long.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 12 oz pkg frozen corn
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp zataar
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First off, peel the onion and garlic. Discard the peel and chop up the onion and garlic.
- Add chopped garlic and onion to a pan with the olive oil and saute over a medium flame/heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
- While this sautes, rinse, dry, and chop up a batch of fresh cilantro and fresh parsley until you have approx. two teaspoons of each.
- Rinse and chop up the jalapeno. If you would like this salad a bit spicy, leave in all the jalapeno seeds. However, if you want this to be mild, then discard the seeds of the jalapeno and use only the green parts.
- Also, rinse and chop the tomatoes.
- Add the parsley, cilantro, frozen corn, tomatoes, jalapeno, za'atar, to the onion and garlic and saute until corn is warmed through (2-3 minutes).
- Stir the mixture well and add in the juice of 1/2 a lime.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
*If using grilled fresh corn, saute the onion and garlic and then remove from heat. Add in the grilled corn and all the other ingredients. Stir and serve.
**If using canned corn, follow the same steps as the frozen corn, only, canned corn would heat through in about a minute or two. Just make sure to drain and rinse the canned corn well before adding it to this salad.
