This grilled sweetcorn salad with feta, herbs, and zesty dressing is a fresh, tangy, and smoky side dish that's perfect for BBQs, picnics, and summer dinners. Easy to prep and full of flavour!
The original recipe featured in the July 2016 Asda Good Living magazine...that I still have a copy of!! Unfortunately the recipe isn't on the website, hence the reason I held onto the magazine. Leftovers are great to enjoy for lunch too, along with some salad leaves.
All of the ingredients go so well together, with salty hits from the feta along with sweetness and char from the barbecued corn and Mexican flavours from the beans and dressing.

- Extras - customise with cherry tomatoes, avocado chunks, red onion or cucumber slices for colour and variety. Jalapeños or chilli flakes will add spice.
