Can you make Creamy Corn Salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the salad but hold off topping with the feta and sliced jalapeños to retain maximum freshness. Store for up to 3 days in the fridge. Top with feta and jalapeños just before serving.

Prep 10 minutes
Cook 2 minutes
Total 12 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 600 g (4 cups) frozen, fresh or canned corn kernels
  • 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
  • 50 g (½ cup) freshly grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 100 g (⅔ cup) crumbled Danish feta
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  • Steam the fresh or frozen corn by adding it to a microwave-safe container with a splash of water. With the lid ajar, microwave for 2–3 minutes until cooked. Alternatively, bring a small pot of water to the boil and cook the corn for 2–3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain. If using tinned corn, simply drain it.
  • Add the corn, spring onion, coriander, parmesan, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, pepper and onion powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Crumble over the feta and top with sliced jalapeño, if using.
