Ingredients

Salsa

3 ears corn
½ cup sweet onion chopped
¼ cup roasted red sweet peppers chopped
½ cup Kalamata olives chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 tsp honey depending on sweetness level you prefer
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic powder

Pita Chips

1 package thin pita bread
olive oil cooking spray
seasonings of choice

Instructions

Salsa

Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil.
Remove husks and silks from corn.
Add the ears of corn to the boiling water and boil corn for 4 minutes.
Place corn on a preheated grill and turn ears every few minutes until corn has a nice char.
Remove corn from grill and set aside to cool.
While corn is cooling chop the onion, roasted peppers, kalamata olives and feta cheese.
Carefully slice the kernels from the cob by placing cob on a cutting board, hold the cob upright and run a knife along the bottom of the kernels.
Transfer kernels to a bowl and add the remaining salsa ingredients.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour over the salsa ingredients and toss to combine. Set aside and allow flavors to blend for about 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature along with some homemade chips.

Pita Chips

To make homemade chips, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut each pita into wedges.
Arrange pita chips on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Lightly spray chips with olive oil cooking spray.
Sprinkle chips with the seasoning of your choice. Bake until crisp, about 10-15 minutes (watch them closely so they don't burn!)

Notes

To make the salsa spicier add red pepper flakes, the amount depends on the heat level you desire.
