Our favorite fresh corn salad is a colorful, flavorful, refreshing side dish for any picnic! It’s the perfect summer recipe, but we love it anytime.
Every time we bring this dish to a gathering, we receive countless requests for the recipe. Everyone loves how flavorful it is, and we love how easy it is to make!
Let’s Talk About The Corn
For a genuinely fresh salad, we recommend buying and husking ears of corn.
However, we have also used two 10 oz bags of frozen corn as a substitute when fresh is hard to find or we want to save time. Frozen works great, and we don’t notice a strong difference!
We don’t recommend using canned corn for this recipe.
Chop, Chop!
This corn salad recipe calls for fresh vegetables to be mixed in, which adds a nutritious and refreshing element. Fresh basil is a must and gives the salad a wonderful flavor. Fresh basil, grape tomatoes, and green onions should be chopped and tossed with corn.
Add Feta To The Corn Salad
We love feta, and it goes so perfectly with this dish! Make sure to gently toss the feta to distribute it evenly, and sprinkle a little extra on top for an impressively gorgeous salad!
Enjoy!
Bring this fresh corn salad to your next picnic to impress your friends, and let us know how it goes! It is a great side dish alongside a tasty chicken salad sandwich!
