Colourful Corn Salad Cups

These colourful corn salad cups are a fresh, crunchy burst of sweet corn, crisp veggies, and zesty flavour.
20 min prep
10 min cook
4 serves
2 serves of veg
  • 3 corn cobs, dehusked and cut in half
  • 3 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 100g reduced fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3/4 cup reduced fat Greek yoghurt
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  1. Place the corn cobs in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Remove from pan and drain.
  2. Place the cooled corn cob flat on a large cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the kernels from one side. Rotate the cob so that a flat side is always facing down, and continue slicing until all the kernels are removed. Transfer the kernels into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the tomatoes, spring onion, parsley and fetta to the bowl. Mix to combine.
  4. In a small bowl or jug, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, lime juice, zest and paprika to form the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the corn salad and toss to coat. Divide between four bowls or containers to serve.

Serving suggestion: Corn cobs can also be swapped for 2 cans of corn (drained, no added salt) or 2 cups of frozen corn you may have on hand. Cobs of corn could also be cooked in a steamer or in the microwave.

Dehusking, also known as shucking, means removing the leave and silky strings from the cob of corn.

For a more substantial snack, serve with shredded cooked skinless chicken breast, drained canned tuna or salmon, or black beans.

Storage: Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help wash the vegetables, mix the salad, prepare the dressing and then add it to the salad.
