Lightly pickled sweet corn in a honey dijon vinaigrette with small cubes of salty feta, sweet bell peppers, and freshly picked chives.  A simple summer salad, that would probably qualify more as a starchy side then an actual salad, but is still a lovely accompaniment to any summer meal.  A lighter alternative to the more traditional mayo heavy pasta or potato salads that usually grace the American summer BBQ.  This salad is also great for picnicking!

Ingredients:

• 5 ears of sweet Corn
• 1/2 cup Feta cut into small cubes
• 1 thinly sliced Sweet Bell Pepper
• 2 tbsp sliced Chives
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper for seasoning

Directions:

1. Cook the corn, and then allow it to cool.  Shave the kernels off of the cobs.
2. Combine the corn kernels, feta, bell pepper, and chives.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, vinegar, and olive oil.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad.
5. Season the salad with salt and pepper, and give it a quick toss.
6. Store the salad in the refrigerator for a few hours, or overnight, before serving.
