It’s officially summer, and for me, that means fresh veggies and lots of outdoor dining. I usually forgo using the stove, in favor of no-cook dishes and grill-ready meals. This summer corn salad captures the flavors of the Southwest, is a perfect side dish for any grilled meal, and is so easy to put together! In fact, I’ll bet you have most of these ingredients sitting in your fridge already. Try this fresh twist on plain old corn, and you’ll find yourself making this all summer long.
Chop and combine all the ingredients, then season with salt and pepper, and serve!
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, so feel free to play with the ingredients. I like adding black beans, diced jalapenos, diced pineapple or mango, and different herbs, like basil or tarragon.
The sky’s the limit!
