Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Let the pasta sit in the colander to cool.
  2. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, chop the cilantro, and crumble the feta.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and crumbled feta cheese. Stir gently to distribute.
  4. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl. Pour over the pasta mixture and toss gently.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  1. For extra flavor, consider grilling the corn and using a lighter dressing with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
