This salad is a great complement to your summer meal. I especially love it with fish, but it will work with almost anything. You can use frozen corn, but I love the chunks of corn that you can get from the fresh corn that is in season now. I take an ear of corn and put it in the microwave for 2 min before removing it from the husk. It’s quick and simple and mess free and takes out the rawness.

Perfect summer salad !
