Dilled, Crunchy Sweet-Corn Salad with Buttermilk Dressing Serves 6 as a side dish For the salad: 1 clove shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced 3 ears of fresh, uncooked corn, the kernels scraped from the cobs with a sharp knife (about 2 3/4 cup) 4 Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/2 inch dice 1 long red sweet pepper, seeded, ribs removed and diced 1 small handfull fresh dill (about 4 smallish sprigs), minced 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley crumbled Feta cheese, rinsed, as a garnish For the dressing: 1/4 cup buttermilk 2/3 cups plain European style thin yogurt, stirred 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar 3 tablespoons minced Vidalia or other sweet onion 1 small clove garlic, minced and mashed with a pinch of salt 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Salt the shallot slices in 1/2 t. salt and allow to sit about 20 minutes to draw out any harshness. Rinse well with water and pat dry with a paper towel. In a large bowl toss the corn kernels lightly to separate them, add the shallot and the remaining salad ingredients and toss again to combine. In a smaller bowl combine the buttermilk, vinegar, onion, yogurt, and garlic and whisk to combine. Add the oil in a slow stream, whisking, until amalgamated. Season with freshly ground pepper and salt to taste. Serve the salad slightly chilled, garnished with the feta cheese. Pass the dressing separately.
