I was hooked after my very first serving…
This recipe is actually from an Indianapolis Junior League cookbook that was published YEARS ago and was given to me as a gift by the hostess that served this fresh twist on salad.
Eating in season is so great…visit your farmer’s market, pick up the vegetables and make this bowl of summer goodness and have a party!

Notes
If you have fresh sweet corn available in your area, there is no need to cook it! Just remove the kernels from the fresh ears and make your salad! When you do cook your corn, try to keep it a bit under cooked for the best results!
I would love to hear any spins you put on this delicious salad!
