Simple Summer Corn Salad

Amanda Nicole Smith

Sweet corn and a mix of veggies smothered in cilantro, onion, garlic, lemon and lime is all you need to make this simple corn salad. It’s the perfect summertime recipe, quick and easy with tons of vegetables and herbs from the garden and farmers’ market. The corn and cherry tomatoes add a slight sweetness and the texture of all the veggies mixed together is a nice change from my garden salads.

Notes

You can refrigerate this dish for up to a week. You will end up with a lot of juice, I just drink it, but you could also use this juice as a marinade or pour it over rice.
