Categories     Lunch

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
2 tablespoon chopped onion
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dill weed, optional

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 109 calories, Fat 1g fat (0 saturated fat), Cholesterol 0 cholesterol, Sodium 374mg sodium, Carbohydrate 25g carbohydrate (0 sugars, Fiber 0 fiber), Protein 3g protein. Diabetic Exchanges

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn. The fresher the corn, the better the salad will be. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and no blemishes.
  • Cook the corn properly. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. To prevent this, cook the corn just until it is tender-crisp. You can boil, roast, or grill the corn, depending on your preference.
  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables. This will give the salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Add some herbs and spices. This will help to brighten up the flavor of the salad. Some good options include cilantro, basil, mint, oregano, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. A good option is a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and a little bit of honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Corn salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a corn salad that will be the hit of your next party.
