Fogo at Home: Brazilian Street Corn Salad

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cotija cheese

💰Cheaper: crumbled goat cheese

Cotija is a lower-fat alternative with a similar texture.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell peppers add sweetness without the heat.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Vinegar can provide acidity at a lower cost.

Grill corn on the cob over medium heat until charred, about 10-15 minutes.

Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.

Mix in finely chopped red onion and cilantro.

Add lime juice and olive oil, stirring to combine.

Incorporate crumbled feta cheese and diced jalapeño.

Stir in black beans and halved cherry tomatoes.

Add diced avocado gently to avoid mashing.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
