\"Toasting the corn adds a nutty, almost popcorn flavor to this popular Mexican street dish. Cilantro, green onions and jalape\u00f1o add pops of green to the creamy deep yellow salad.\" \u2014<\/em>Taste Recipes Test Kitchen<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"People who prefer food with some tang find this corn salad particularly appealing. It's a pretty dish, too\u2014and very economical. If you are like me and enjoy growing your own ingredients, you won't have to pick up much at the store.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Carol Shaffer, Cape Girardeau, Missouri<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"Corn salad and potato salad are two summer classics. I smashed them together for a crowd-pleasing side that we love with burgers. Locally sourced ingredients from the farmers market make it extra special.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I first saw this recipe in our Omaha paper a few years ago. It's ideal for family get-togethers of all kinds. Hearty enough to serve during winter, this salad always brings back memories of summer picnics!\" \u2014Recipe contributor Joanna Lonnecker, Omaha, Nebraska<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"My family loves this colorful stand-alone salad.

Try it with a variety of summer entrees, or as a wholesome salsa!\" \u2014Recipe contributor Krista Frank, Rhododendron, Oregon<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"This makes the most of summer's bounty. I used to prepare it with a mayonnaise dressing, but now lighten it with lemon vinaigrette, and it's even better.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Priscilla Yee, Concord, California <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"With ripe tomatoes, fresh basil and grilled corn, this sunny salad tastes just like summertime!\" \u2014Recipe contributor Angela Spengler, Tampa, Florida <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"This recipe showcases the beautiful bounty of summer with its fresh corn, tomatoes and delicious basil.

Fresh corn and basil make a huge difference in this recipe.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Jessica Kleinbaum, Plant City, Florida<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I'm always looking for fun ways to use the fresh veggies that come in my Community Supported Agriculture box, and this salad is one of my favorite creations.

It's beautiful in a trifle bowl and instant sunshine by the spoonful.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Debbie Johnson, Centertown, Missouri <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I'm not typically a huge fan of summer corn, but when it comes to this sweet, salty, refreshing salad, I can't put my fork down. I find that grilling the corn inside of the husk makes it easier to remove all the corn silk from each cob.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I created this recipe for a wedding I was catering, and it's a good thing I made buckets of it because I couldn't stop eating it! This chilled creamy salad combines all the best flavors of jalapeno poppers with the delicate sweetness of fresh corn.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Amanda Miller, Hutchinson, Kansas<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I am lucky that my mom has a really great garden every summer and gives me all kinds of vegetables to try. I've found most shishito peppers to be mild in heat. After discarding the stems, I add the remaining chopped pepper, including the seeds, to this dish. The salad can be enjoyed warm or refrigerated and served cold.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Tracy Kaifesh, Laguna Niguel, California<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n \"I have made Mexican street corn and decided to create an Italian version. It is easy and keeps well in hot weather. This salad can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Other cheeses such as feta, cheddar or Swiss also work well in this recipe.\" \u2014Recipe contributor Mary Frucelli, Wake Forest, North Carolina<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/div>
