INGREDIENTS

FETA YOGHURT DRESSING
50 grams Mainland Creamy Feta
1 cup Greek natural yoghurt
½ cup coriander leaves
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 clove garlic, chopped
ground pepper

CORN SALAD
70 grams pumpkin seeds
2 cups each corn kernels and roughly chopped rocket leaves
1 cup roughly chopped coriander leaves
1/3 cup roughly chopped mint leaves
1 green capsicum, diced
1 avocado, cubed
1 green chilli, thinly sliced
½ cucumber, cubed
¼ red onion, finely diced
100 grams corn chips, roughly crushed
¼ cup lemon juice
150 grams Mainland Creamy Feta, cubed

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180°C regular bake.

DRESSING: Put the ingredients in a small food processor and blitz together. Season with pepper and set aside.

CORN SALAD: Place the pumpkin seeds on a small oven tray and bake for 4–5 minutes, until just beginning to colour.

Place the seeds in a large bowl and add the remaining salad ingredients, reserving a little of the feta to crumble on top. Toss everything together, drizzle over half of the dressing and toss again to incorporate.

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and top with the reserved feta. Serve the remaining dressing alongside to drizzle on top.
