### Ingredients

- 1 ½ medium ears of corn, kernels cut off the cobs (¾ cup)

- ¼ large red bell pepper, finely chopped (¼ cup)

- 1 ½ green onions, thinly sliced (¼ cup)

- ½ tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

- 1 ounce (30g) crumbled feta cheese (3 tablespoons)

- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 medium lime)

- ½ tablespoon sour cream

- ½ tablespoon olive oil

- ⅜ teaspoon fine sea salt

- 2 turns on a pepper grinder

### Instructions

1. **Prep the Corn:**

    - Remove the outer green husks and silk strands from the corn. Place the corn cob vertically on a cutting board, holding it firmly with one hand.

    - Using a sharp knife, carefully slice downward along the length of the cob to remove the kernels. Rotate the cob and continue cutting until all the kernels are removed.

2. **Combine Ingredients:**

    - In a large mixing bowl, add the corn kernels, red bell pepper, green onions, tarragon, and feta cheese.

    - Drizzle with fresh lime juice, olive oil, and add the sour cream. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. **Mix and Marinate:**

    - Gently toss the ingredients together, being careful not to bruise the herbs or smash the corn.

    - Let the salad sit for about an hour to marinate. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste.

4. **Serve and Store:**

    - Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Enjoy as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, rice bowls, and burritos.

    - Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
