SPICY FRESH CORN SALAD
I was gifted some Cajun-flavored mayonnaise and wasn't sure what to do with it until I spotted fresh corn at the grocery store. I thought the sweetness of the corn would contrast nicely with the spicy mayonnaise, and I was right! Serve with grilled or fried shrimp, or with any summery chicken dish.

FRESH CORN AND GREEN BEAN SALAD
A wonderful salad that takes full advantage of summer's best bounty. Paired with grilled meats, this will work well at any BBQ or picnic. Finding this in November has be already longing for next year. In the meantime, I may try this with the frozen variety though I bet it won't be nearly as good. (Update: After WI Cheesehead's experiment with frozen vegetables I managed to track down some fresh corn and beans. Following the directions presented here, the result is sweet crisp vegetables that you simply can't get from the freezer.)

FRESH CORN SALAD
I created this fresh corn salad to serve with our lobster dinners that we have about once a month (seafood Sunday). I wanted to do something outside of the traditional sides like corn on the cob and potato. It's now a family favorite! Goes well with a grilled steak or tuna steak as well. The combination of sweet with the corn and salty with the feta is an unexpected delight!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest corn possible. Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than corn that has been sitting around for a while. Look for ears of corn with bright green husks and plump kernels.
- Remove the kernels from the cob. There are a few different ways to remove the kernels from the cob. You can use a sharp knife to cut them off, or you can use a corn stripper. If you're using a knife, be careful not to cut yourself. If you're using a corn stripper, simply insert the cob into the stripper and turn the handle.
- Cook the corn. You can cook the corn in a variety of ways. You can boil it, grill it, or roast it. If you're boiling the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the corn is tender. If you're grilling the corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with oil and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. If you're roasting the corn, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the corn with oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
- Add other ingredients. Once the corn is cooked, you can add other ingredients to make a corn salad. Some popular additions include tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cheese. You can also add herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or parsley.
- Dress the salad. You can dress the corn salad with a variety of dressings. Some popular dressings include vinaigrette, ranch dressing, or Caesar dressing. You can also make your own dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Conclusion:
Corn salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Experiment with different ingredients and dressings to find your favorite corn salad recipe.
