Ingredients

4 ears of corn, husked
Kosher salt
4 small zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline
8-10 zucchini blossoms, torn into large pieces (optional)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook corn in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright yellow and tender, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate and let cool.

    Step 2

    Cut kernels from cobs and place in a large bowl. Add zucchini, zucchini blossoms (if using), basil, parsley, oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with feta.
