GARDEN-FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, tomato, green onion, cucumber, herbs (don't skimp on the herbs!), radishes, and jalapeño.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until blended, then pour it over the salad. Toss to combine.
• Add most of the feta or avocado (reserve some for garnish), and gently toss. Taste, and add more vinegar for more tang (I usually add another full tablespoon), or salt for more overall flavor. Garnish with the remaining feta or avocado.
• Serve promptly, or chill for later. This salad keeps well for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, covered.

Steps:

ROASTED CORN AND CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD

Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning often, until the corn is slightly charred and still crisp, 8 to 10 minute. Remove from the heat and cool briefly.
• Cut the kernels off the cob and place in a large bowl. (Two cobs of corn should yield 1 1/2 to 2 cups of kernels.) Add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.
