Summer salads like this delicious Corn Salad recipe are staples at our backyard BBQs. I love to serve it with hotdogs and hamburgers. It’s always a hit whenever I make it. 

I’m not a huge corn fan, but I enjoy this salad with its multitude of flavors. Onions and radishes give it a little kick. I also use red pepper flakes in the dressing for a bit of extra heat. 

The only thing I’m missing this year from my outdoor entertaining setup is an actual deck. Currently, we have a well worn patio that needs some TLC. I’d like to get a deck put in so I can fix it all up for parties. Soon, I hope!

    The obvious ingredient is, of course, the corn. I used frozen corn in this recipe that was cooked according to the package directions. 

    The other veggies include radishes, red onion, carrots and green onions. Only the corn is cooked. The rest of the veggies go in raw and give a yummy crunch.

    The dressing for this Corn Salad is a simple mix of extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, fresh parsley, soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes.

    How to Make Corn Salad

    The first step is to cook the frozen corn according to the package directions. I like the Green Giant brand. Cool the corn first before adding it to the salad bowl.

    Stir in red onion, carrots, radishes and green onions. 

    To make the dressing, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, parsley, white wine vinegar, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to cover completely.

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. It should be served chilled.
