Corn has a limited season, but we plant ours in large successions, meaning we’re typically harvesting from mid-August through to late September.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
6 large ears of fresh corn
2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
1/2 C red onion, minced
1/2 C cilantro, minced

1/2 C feta, crumbled
Dressing:
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
