Key Elements

Candy corn: I extremely advocate utilizing contemporary candy corn lower off the cob (the flavour and texture simply can’t be beat!), however in case you are in a pinch you should utilize frozen corn. Simply make sure that you thaw the frozen corn and take away any extra moisture from the corn earlier than utilizing it.

Cucumbers: The contemporary, crisp CRUNCH of sliced cucumbers are integral to the Mediterranean flavors of this salad. Any number of cucumber will work, simply ensure you slice them into half moons.
Feta crumbles: The salty, crumbly goodness of feta can be essential to the flavour of this salad. You should utilize cotija or crumbled goat cheese if that’s all have available.
Kalamata olives: I’m on staff olives! I do know not everyone seems to be, so be happy to skip these if olives aren’t your jam. Chances are you’ll want a pinch or two of salt if you happen to don’t use olives since they add such nice salty taste to the salad.
