According to my Instagram feed, you all celebrated this past holiday weekend by eating watermelon, making pie, or grilling up corn on the cob. If you were part of the third group, this corn salad is a super easy, super delicious recipe you can toss together if you happen to have leftover grilled corn. And if you don’t…. well, it’s still easy nonetheless and it’ll become your favorite summer corn salad.
Corn Salad Recipe Ingredients
This summer corn salad brings together my favorite summer ingredients to create a refreshingly sweet, crispy, crunchy, creamy combo that I will most definitely be eating all summer long. It happened by accident, as I used what I had on hand in the fridge, but I’m so in love with it. Here’s what’s in it:
Grilled corn adds perfect crispy bites and yummy charred flavor. I had some leftover from this recipe, but if you don’t, it cooks up quickly. Or, for an even simpler option, you could also use raw corn kernels! Cucumber and bell peppers add refreshing crunch. Avocado brings a creamy contrast. Peaches adds juicy sweetness. Basil plays perfectly with the corn & peaches, punching up the fresh summer flavors. Lime juice brightens it up! And creamy chile lime sauce adds some heat and ties it all together.
