Summer Corn Salad

Welcome to my recipe blog with no-fluff added. No calorie talk. No this-or-that talk. No comments section. Just basic but yummy food.

I love this summer corn salad because I can pair it with practically anything -and I can swap out any ingredient to adjust for preference or what's available in the pantry. Below is the basic recipe but swap anything to make it yours!

Ingredients

• Corn (fresh or canned)

• Red Onion

• Black Beans (canned, seasoned)

• Basil

• Cherry Tomatoes

• Red and/or Green Bell Pepper

Dressing:

• 1/4 cup olive oil (equal parts acid to oil)

• Lime or lemon juice

• minced garlic (optional)

• Cilantro (if you choose lime, optional)

• salt and pepper to taste 

Tips:

I’ve swapped out various ingredients in this “salad” combination a lot. Play with various dressings too.

Consider pan roasting the corn or air fry fresh corn on the cob. Both work.

Use a mixing bowl with a lid to toss the salad together.

Pair it with:

• Tacos

• Rice bowls with chicken

• Avocado

• Grilled Chicken sandwiches

• Mahi Fish Tacos

• Mexican-style shrimp

• Top it with a creamy avocado dressing instead.

  • Mix together lime, olive oil, sour cream, garlic, avocado in a blender. Thin with water.
