Corn Salad with Feta and Walnuts


I had more of the Freeman’s corn, so I decided to try a corn salad with dinner tonight.  How could it not be good with toasted walnuts, feta and jalapeños? Well, it wasn’t good, it was great!  So much flavor and texture!

And it was a good thing the corn salad was so good, because my main dish, bindi masala, was a total fail.  The flavor was ok, but too many of the okra were just too tough.  no amount of cooking broke them down.  Oh well, at least the corn was great!
