I don’t know about you but I think that summer is the best time to have corn, especially if its corn salad. This quick and easy recipe for corn salad is exactly the side dish you need in your next meal. Full of color and rich flavors - YUM!
The main ingredient of this salad is obviously corn. In addition to the corn, I added pickles, red bell pepper, and few leaves of parsley. The dressing for the salad is made with lemon juice, olive oil, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. The salad is a bit creamy thanks to the mayonnaise and the lemon juice gives it a sharp kick. That’s a perfect combination!
Usually, corn salads are made with raw onions, I don’t like it very much so I don’t add raw onions to my salads. If you love raw onions then go ahead and add them.
This salad is perfect for any occasion and can be made all year round if you use frozen corn or from a can.
To cut the parsley leaves, I used herb scissors. You can use a knife too but I find the scissors much easier and the leaves are the right size afterward.
The recipe yields a small salad, however, if you have a big family or guests are stopping by and need a bigger portion, then be sure to double the ingredients.
