“This makes the most of summer’s bounty. I used to prepare it with a mayonnaise dressing, but lightened it with lemon vinaigrette. It’s even better.” —Priscilla Yee, Concord, California

The History of FetaFETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Outstanding. Other than subbing in canned corn for the fresh, I made it as-is and wouldn't change a thing (except for maybe trying it with pearl couscous just for fun). It's great chilled or at room temperature, so it's perfect for summer potlucks.If you like tabbouleh you will like this salad!

Absolutely love this. I make it at least a couple times a month and each time I try to make it a littel differnt just to see how far it can go and what all can work. I have used crumbled bacon and cheese and garlic crutons, not only yellow corn but white corn and even some seasoned black beans. Everytime I try something different it seems like this recipe just keeps getting better and better. Defiently have it wrote down in my recipe book for my daughter when she grows up!

I have made this recipe multiple times for different groups. It has gotten rave reviews each time. The fresh corn adds a lot to it.

A real winner! I turned this salad into a main dish by adding a cup of diced cooked chicken. I used frozen corn, although I'm sure the flavor of fresh corn is superior. I also cut the lemon juice from 3 T to 2 T; it is sometimes a bit overpowering. I made up the volume with 1 T of water. The vinaigrette was perfect; even my husband, who generally doesn't like salad dressing of any kind, liked it.

On a whim, my husband and I made this salad one night to go with our dinner. It was deliciously light, yet crunchy. Mmmmm! This one's a keeper!

This is a teriffic salad. Fast and easy. For me the couscous gave a different but interesting texture. I certainly plan to make it again.Hilma McCorkle

Please disregard my previous review. I chilled this overnight and it was perfect the next day!

I made this using extra virgin olive oil. The flavor was much to strong for a salad. Be sure to use a lighter tasting version
