Recipe Notes

Tips for Corn Salad Recipe

  1. Use sweet seasonal corn and cook it using this tutorial on How To Boil Corn On The Cob.
  2. Make sure the corn has chilled before adding it to the salad ingredients. Otherwise it will wilt the salad.
  3. Likewise, use sweet seasonal fresh grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. We love slicing each into half. This makes all ingredients similar in size and weight.
  4. If cilantro isn't for you, use parsley or even fresh basil. Any fresh herbs are great here to replace greens or lettuce.
  5. The beauty of this corn salad recipe is in the simplicity of it. Avoid using seasoning and bold dressings.
  6. You can use lemon juice if lime is not available.
  7. This salad recipe is a great side dish to ALL summer grilling, and more!

What to Serve with Corn and Tomato Salad?

Can You eat Raw corn on the cob in a salad?

It's purely a personal thing, for us YES! Especially sweet, young and seasonal summer corn. So overall it is OK to eat raw corn. It has a crunchy texture compared to the cooked one, but it's ok to eat!
