This Corn Salad is as refreshing as a Summer side can get! It pairs perfectly with Steak & chicken. It is also delicious on it’s own too, or as part of a plant based meal. We love grill nights here and this is a repeat order more often than not. Growing up, corn on the cob was one of my favorite meals, we, of course slathered the corn in as much butter as humanly possible. I have to say it’s still one of my favorite ways to eat corn.
However, I went to a friends house recently, one of those friends that ALWAYS has such delicious food! This time I was inspired by their summery corn salad. This recipe is a variation on that salad because I just couldn’t get enough! They also have another awesome way of eating corn. The other way they like it is cooked, cut off the husk & covered in lime juice & cayenne pepper. SO. SO. GOOD.
Its super refreshing, easy and delicious & I want it at all cook outs from now on! 💚
