Cooking Instructions

Summers in the south are usually full of Silver Queen Corn so I always try to get creative with ways to showcase the crop. This is a light pasta that pairs perfectly with grilled fare.

FIRST Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl season with salt and pepper and set aside.

NEXT Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. When pasta is 2-3 minutes away from being al dente add corn and continue cooking until done. Strain and place in a large mixing bowl.

LAST Pour dressing over pasta add cucumber pepper feta and oregano. Toss well and chill until ready to serve. Just before serving toss in mint.
