SUMMER ANYTIME CRISP CORN SALAD



Summer Anytime Crisp Corn Salad image

This quick and easy salad is so tasty as a replacement for other salads at picnics, pitch-ins, and barbecues. No mayo to spoil, and goes together in a snap. I've left out the tomato and it's still great. In winter, I make this with hamburgers to remind us summer is not far away. I use super-sweet, sweet yellow and white, or Summer Crisp corn. If you use fresh sweet corn, be sure to blanch it first and then give it a bath in ice water to keep it crispy. Tasty ! Easily doubled -- this batch makes just enough for my husband and I.

Mediterranean Corn Salad image

A simple salad best served at room temperature, so it's perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. I think some marinated artichokes and some sundried tomatoes would be good additions to this recipe as well. I also throw in about 1/2 tsp of Greek seasoning in mine. Recipe from Dierberg's Everybody Cooks.

I threw this salad together with ingredients I had in my kitchen one evening. This light and tasty alternative to a regular salad will accompany Mexican dishes perfectly. This also works well served as a dip with tortilla chips and tastes even better a day after making it. Serve as a side dish or as a dip with chips and salsa.

Tips:

  • To select the ripest and sweetest corn, look for cobs with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid cobs with dry or damaged husks.
  • If you're using fresh corn, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then shock it in ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its鮮豔的色彩。
  • When choosing olives, look for plump and firm ones. Avoid olives that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
  • To remove the pits from olives, use a sharp knife to cut around the pit, then gently pry it out.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This olive corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
