Summer Roasted Corn & Tomato Feta Salad
I love roasted tomatoes. They are my favorite summer food, and I love the day that the market is full of every type of tomato, from small red hard tomatoes to large juicy yellow ones. I do not discriminate against summer tomatoes. They are all equally precious, as they disappear with the first tastes of fall.
While we have a few weeks left of gorgeous summer tomatoes and summer corn, I am doing my best to eat them all the time. So far I am doing a fantastic job. This salad practically prepares itself, as you just throw the veggies in the oven to roast and then top with a nice hunk of Athenos feta. This summer roasted corn and tomato feta salad will bring you right to the heart of your nearest farm.
I received so many emails after featuring a photo of this salad that I had to share the simple recipe.
Summer Roasted Corn & Tomato Feta Salad
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 pint grape tomatoes, rinsed
1 ear of corn
1 small potato, peeled and diced (optional)
1 tsp kosher salt
dash black pepper
dash hot red pepper
1 tbs olive oil
1 oz fresh Athenos feta
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes, corn, and potato (if you are using one) with the salt, pepper, and hot red pepper. Then toss with the olive oil. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the vegetables on it in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes or so, until the tomato skins slightly pop or wrinkle. Shave the corn and toss with the tomatoes (and potato). Top with the feta and serve. Enjoy!
The feta melts just slightly on top of the warm vegetables, creating a creamy, flavorful salad. If you want more Athenos Feta recipes, click here!

i am NOT a fan of raw tomatoes, but i’ll eat them roasted any day of the week! this sounds amazing!
Roasted tomatoes are SO good! This salad looks great, and super simple to make. Thanks for sharing it!
This does look delicious. I have a feta question — how long would you say it stays good for in the fridge? My husband doesn’t like feta so I’d be the only one using it, and I’m afraid I wouldn’t use an entire package in time before it goes bad!
@Colleen C, Oh also – I love a salad with no lettuce so the more of those the merrier!
@Colleen C, Feta has a pretty good shelf life. When you buy it just check the label.. I think I have a package in my fridge that I bought 3 weeks ago and it is still good!
What an excellent combo of flavors! And I bet the longer it sits the more delicious it becomes.
@janetha g., It was even better the next day, especially since I mixed in the feta (I made a triple batch).
Mmmm roasted tomatoes and corn are the best!! That savory sweet caramelization…can’t beat it! I’ve been eyeballing a recipe for a shrimp pasta containing roasted corn, tomatoes and goat cheese…like the beefed up version of your salad!
@Sarah Jayne, Memories!!! I made something like that with my mom years ago, if you add fresh spinach too. Will you share that recipe? I’d love to try it asap!!
Could not agree more. Tomatoes are amazing. My family has always grown them in our garden and I look forward to them every year. Such a gorgeous salad
That combination is genius! All of my favorites in one bowl…definitely a “Must Make” recipe! Thanks so much for sharing.
I LOVE this seasonal salad! I am not a huge tomato fan and I definitely discriminate against different varieties, but this looks Fab! I’ll have to add it to the menu next week!
Question, do you meal plan on a Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly? How do you keep things exciting and not eat the same thing on a weekly basis? I love cooking and I am usually pretty good at menu planning on a weekly basis, but I get burnt out sometimes and love looking to your blog for new inspiration/ideas.
@Stacy R, You asked, I answered. A post about what’s for dinner and recipe inspiration will be posting tomorrow morning! Thanks for asking- it was fun to get started on my “you can learn to cook” series again!
I LOVE roasted tomatoes. Rachael Ray has a great pasta recipe with roasted tomatoes and garlic mashed into a simple marinara of sorts…fantastic! This salad looks divine.
i have to say sabrina you are getting GREAT with that camera. maybe someday you can share your tips with me ! <3 (someday soon! 😀 )
@stephanie, HI STEPHANIE!!!
I am waving at you!!! Thanks for the nice comment.
To be honest, it isn’t the camera and it isn’t me. It is placing all of my food next to the window! HA! Let everyone be fooled!!!!! 🙂
This sounds amazing! I have to make this next week.
