In a few weeks we’ll celebrate the 4th of July here in the USA. Then we have the hot months of July and August. Today’s raw corn salad is quick, wholesome, and perfect for summer. No cooking required. We’re using fresh, raw, sweet corn on the cob, tomato, onion, and fresh herbs in a vinaigrette. I love cucumber, and you can add sliced cucumber, peppers, or avocado to tailor to your taste. Feel free to adjust ingredients to please your family. (If you don’t like raw corn kernels, steam or grill the corn first.) If you want to make this next winter, I would suggest frozen corn not canned for better flavor. The rest of the ingredients I’d still want fresh vegetables and herbs.

…this looks mighty good.
This salad sounds fabulous! I’ve never tried raw corn before but I can imagine it works well with cooked corn too.
