Corn Feta and Dill Salad

Corn Feta and Dill Salad

One of my favorite restaurants in Somerville is Sarma.  This Corn Feta and Dill salad is inspired by one of their dishes.  Sweet corn, chopped onion, plenty of dill and just a hint of feta and lemon make up this easy, versatile side dish. I lightened the salad up a bit by using just a touch of olive oil and reducing the amount of feta. I like to buy organic corn to avoid GMO’s and still reap the health benefits that corn has to offer like antioxidants and fiber. Pair this salad with a protein like roasted chicken or grilled shrimp to balance your blood sugar and help you to boost your metabolism and feel your best!
