Steps:

• Cook corn in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright yellow and tender, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate and let cool.
• Cut kernels from cobs and place in a large bowl. Add zucchini, zucchini blossoms (if using), basil, parsley, oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with feta.

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cilantro, and feta cheese.

• Pour the dressing over the salad and throughly toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Before serving, stir the salad and taste. Does it need more salt? More lime juice? Or maybe even more feta or cilantro.
