Strawberry And Corn Salad

I like to think that this salad is an ode to summer’s bountiful produce. It’s a melody made up of sweet corn, juicy berries, tomatoes bursting with flavor, snappy cucumbers, and earthy herbs.

This Strawberry and Corn Salad is a fantastic side dish to serve with backyard barbecues, and not only is it a beauty to look at, but it’s bursting with fresh flavors and a variety of textures. It’s a gorgeous alternative to traditional side dishes, and it’s a fantastic way to pay tribute to the season.
