A fresh and tasty summer vegetable recipe with crunchy cool cucumbers, ripe juicy tomatoes, creamy avocados and corn. A nutrition-loaded side dish to any meal. Easy corn salad recipes are great summer meals or use as a salsa or condiment.
If you only eat corn on the cob and don’t use it in recipes, you are missing out! There’s nothing like fresh corn on the cob to use in recipes. Honestly, there isn’t much to it and really is quick to do. Just get a sharp or serrated knife and scrape the corn off the cob lengthwise or check out my gadgets.
