Corn and blueberries may not be a combination that comes to mind readily, but the sweetness of each really combine to make a delicious salad. Add in some salty feta cheese and you have a fabulous flavor combination.

This salad tastes so good with grilled steak or chicken. You could even add some grilled shrimp to this Blueberry, Corn and Feta Salad and make it a main dish. Perfect for a light summer meal!

Any way you serve it, it’s a light and refreshing salad with gorgeous pops of color. You will definitely want to give this recipe a try while corn and blueberries are in season.

I like to grill the corn for this recipe. Gently pull the husks back, remove the silk, and then pull the husks back to their regular position. Soak the corn in water for a good 20 minutes. Then grill covered for about 20 minutes.

Instead of grilling the corn, you could boil it if you wish. 8-10 minutes is plenty of time. Once the corn cools, cut the kernels from the cob and combine with the other ingredients.

I like to add a jalapeno for a little heat, but you could leave it out. This salad would also be great with goat cheese instead of feta. Cotija cheese would work wonderfully along with chopped fresh cilantro.
