Summer Corn Salad

September 7, 2019 by elkeliving Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Summer is coming to an end.  Although its 85 degrees and the skies have not a cloud in them, as the wind lightly blows, my back porch is getting covered with leaves one by one. When I ask most people what their favorite time of year is they say fall. I totally get it! I live in the mountains where there are breathtaking views of mountain tops covered with the autumn colors of browns, reds, and oranges, but can’t I just hang onto summer a little longer?

Summer Corn Salad

We eat a lot of salads. We like salads in the summer, salads in the fall, and salads in the wintertime! What better food? In my opinion, you can add just about any vegetable into a salad and it will taste good. Drizzle it with a good healthy dressing like my Remedy Salad dressing and its a win!

Roasted Corn salad

The end of summer screams corn and tomatoes! This Summer Corn Salad is loaded with sweet corn, garden fresh tomatoes, heart-healthy avocado, red onions, and fresh jalapenos!

Making Summer Corn Salad your way

You can make this salad your own!

  • You can use yellow or white corn.
  • If you don’t like spice you can skip out on the jalapenos and add red bell pepper in its place.
  • I LOVE cilantro! Does it taste like soap to you? You could replace it with fresh basil.
  • Not in the mood for grilling? No problem, cook the corn for a few minutes in an iron skillet turning every couple of minutes!

I hope you’ll add more salads to your diet. I believe all my kids love salad because I serve them with our dinners several times a week!
