Method
step 1
Combine the tomatoes, peppers and onions in a large bowl. For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a separate bowl (or shake together in a sealed jam jar) along with some seasoning. The veg mixture and dressing will keep chilled overnight.
step 2
Grill the corn cobs over a hot barbecue or in a griddle pan over a high heat, turning occasionally until lightly charred all over – the kernels should be tender with smoky, caramelised spots. Cool slightly, then slice the kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife – working one at a time, hold the cob upright on a sturdy chopping board, and slice the kernels off down the length of the cob.
step 3
Fold the warm sweetcorn through the veg mixture along with the feta, coriander, mint and the dressing. Pile onto a serving platter, then roughly crush the tortilla chips and scatter over – do this just before serving so they don’t soften too much.
