Corn and cucumbers mingle in this simple, garden fresh summer salad perfect for weeknight dinners and special gatherings.
This effortless Cucumber and Corn Salad is a late summer favorite using two of my favorite vegetables, one of which isn’t even a vegetable. But as I boldly told my dad as a clever youth, “if it’s in vegetable soup, it counts as a vegetable.”
Yeah, that’s why I went into marketing and I’m not, as you may have guessed, a scientist. What I do know, though, is that Cucumber and Corn is a winning combination, especially when dressed in a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and a few fresh herbs.
Do you have to go with basil and mint for your herbs? Absolutely not. Salads, in my opinion, are the best foods to experiment with. Add whatever herbs you’d like! Chives or parsley would also be great in this recipe.
Okay, enough chit chat, let’s make Cucumber Corn Salad!
