Recipe Tips & Suggestions
How to Store Grilled Corn Salad With Feta Cheese?
You can keep grilled corn salad in an air-tight container. The salad will last for about 3-4 days as long as it is stored properly. If you want to serve this salad throughout the week, you can also store the vegetables separately from the salad dressing. This prevents the vegetables from wilting or getting soggy.
How to Remove Grilled Corn Kernels
Place the cooled corn on a cutting board to remove the grilled corn from the cob. Take a sharp knife and position it at the base of the corn cob, ensuring it is secure and stable. With a gentle sawing motion, slice downward, allowing the knife to cut through the kernels. Continue rotating the cob and cutting until all the kernels are removed. Be cautious while handling the knife, and maintain a firm grip on the corn to avoid accidents. Once all the kernels are separated, they can be used in your delicious grilled corn salad with feta cheese.
