Easy Fresh Corn Salad Recipe

I love this corn salad recipe because it’s so easy to whip up for summer get togethers or if you need a summery side dish to bring to a backyard BBQ or summer potluck!

This one goes great with my BBQ Chicken Sliders or my Franglais Burger. Or for a real summery, hot weather meal opt for my delicious shrimp rolls! A classic combination 🙂
