Sweet Corn Salad
This is a great summer salad. It’s fresh and unique, and the combination of summer vegetables is delicious. We had a family cookout last weekend and I was assigned a salad. Someone else was already bringing a veggie tray, so I knew I wanted something other than a traditional lettuce salad. I’m usually terrible with salad ideas, so I turned to twitter for suggestions. Maria came through once again with her recipe for sweet corn salad. This colorful salad was the perfect addition to our cookout and everyone seemed to really like it. It would be a great side dish to pretty much any summer meal, and it’s a great contribution to a potluck. Enjoy it while the summer produce is fresh and delicous!
