Charred Corn Salad with Feta, Avocado & Hot Honey Dressing

Ingredients

1 packet microwaveable brown rice (or 250g cooked brown rice)
1 cup frozen or tinned corn, drained
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
1 avocado, diced
1 medium cucumber, diced
3 spring onions, finely sliced
100g feta or goat cheese, crumbled
¼ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
2 tbsp dill, finely chopped
Dressing
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp UmamiPapi Hot Honey
Juice of ½ lime
Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper

METHOD

1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, paprika, and cumin. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is lightly charred and fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, hot honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed

3. In a large bowl, combine the rice, charred corn, cucumber, spring onion, avocado, dill, chives, and half the feta. Gently toss to combine. Drizzle over the dressing and toss lightly. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the remaining feta and roasted almonds.

4. To make it a meal: This is perfect with a simple protein - think tuna, shredded chicken (even rotisserie), boiled eggs, or a scoop of cottage cheese!
