Summery Corn Salad

We loved it! Boiled fresh super sweet corn instead of bbq. Added two cans of beans instead of one. Then added 3 cloves of fresh pressed garlic to the dressing. Also kicked it up a bit with balsalmic vingear. Next time I will add avacado, cucumber, zucchini, red bell pepper! The cumin and cilantro make it soooo yummy!

My whole family loved this! I made this to go with blue corn chips for a card party. I'm lucky the dish made it there. LOL! The only thing I changed was I used frozen corn instead of corn on the cob (out of season) and I baked it in the oven instead of the grill. Thanks for the recipe!

I absolutely loved this combination of flavors! Awesome (AS IS)!!! I did not grill the corn, just cut it right off the cob, added the other ingredients, and baked about 30 minutes. Great side dish! Thank you!

Man, this was good. There was no way I was gonna insult beautiful, fresh ears of California corn in season (by grilling or cooking it). I cut fresh corn right off the ear, and used smoked paprika (in lieu of chili powder). Fresh-squeezed lime is a must. What a treat. Served it with BBQ burgers and Skewered Grilled Potatoes (another Allrecipes.com fav). The red wine vinegar dressing is fabulous. Such good food.

Loved this recipe. The right combination of oil and red wine vinegar so it wasn't too acidic. Added a small amount of chopped red, green and yellow peppers. My husband added to his "Keeper" list. Great dish for a summer side, or to take to a party or potluck.

This was delicious! I used sweet bi-color corn and boiled for 4 minutes rather than grilling it. I added chopped red peppers for a little added color, but it would have been fine without it. It was so much easier to eat than corn-on-the-cob at our BBQ, but you still got that sweet fresh corn taste. Everyone absolutely loved it - thanks for sharing!

This is great! Used cannellini beans instead of black beans and used as a cold salad to accompany ribs. Will definitely make this again. jbhughes

Tasted pretty much as I wanted. Good flavor, similar to what I have found at restaurants. I added about 1/2 cup diced red onion. Next time I make it, I will rinse the black beans so as not to give the corn a darkish tint. It looks fresher that way. I also used frozen corn, just rinsed under cool water first. I'm sure grilling fresh corn adds nice flavor, but, this was perfectly fine and got the job done much quicker.

I made it just as described except I added just a tiny bit of chopped jalapeno to give it a little punch. Very good and super easy recipe.

This was awesome, addd some cucumbers and grape tomatoes! Great addition to any backyard BBQ!

I've made this twice now, both times got rave reviews. I added tomato, zucchini, and vidalia onion. You can add anything really. The dressing is what makes the dish.

I made this for a potluck and it turned out great. I wanted to use frozen white corn but not finding any in my local market, tried two cans of white corn and was happy with the taste. Otherwise followed the recipe. This will now be my go-to corn salad recipe. Love the dressing.

I just made this for our 4th of July cook-out, delicious! The dressing is sweet and tangy, goes great with grilled chicken and I am especially enjoying it with the bratwurst! Yummy, fresh and crisp.

The dressing surprised me - I for some reason expected a different type of flavor - very delicious. I was short on time so used canned corn and it was great. I also added grape tomatoes and avocado; next time I'll throw red onion in too. Great and quick to bring to a summer BBQ.

This salad was a huge hit at our neighborhood BBQ recently!! Added avocado & red bell pepper because I had it & it added color!! Will use this recipe again I'm sure! Thanks to the original cook!

lasted in fridge, very good, tad too garlicky

Just made this and am quite impressed! Had to sub a few things only because my pantry is low. Used lemon instead of lime juice, onion powder instead of garlic powder, hot sauce + paprika to mimic the chili powder, and used canned corn. Also added zucchini and canned tomatoes with green chiles per other reviewer's advice. Also added some mild salsa to the dressing as had no cilantro and that had it in it. Outstanding! Me and roomie have recently switched to a vegetarian diet, and am always looking for things like this. A keeper!

I really liked this recipe. Oh I did have to change a couple things based on ingredients I had. I used white wine vinegar instead of red. I did not have cilantro (but I bet it would be awesome with cilantro). I used some homegrown sweet corn that I had frozen. I added some chopped cherry tomatoes that I had. I also only used 2 Tbsp of olive oil. The seasoning combination was perfect for me. I will be making this recipe again.

Nice different way to have corn on a hot summer's day picnic. I grill my corn directly on the grill, I like the little charred bits of corn. It gives it a nutty flavor.

Yummy. Big hit with teens too. Didn't use all the dressing, but that's our family. Very good have made it three time!

I used lemon balsamic vinegar and it was great with the lime.

My family and friends have enjoyed this recipe. I’ve made no changes other than sometimes having to grill the corn longer than the time indicated in the recipe. Will make again!

Excellent. I made it with a bag of frozen corn, thawed, and browned it in a pan with the butter and garlic powder. Everyone loved it.

I used leftover grilled corn. We loved the dressing and the texture of the salad. Will absolutely make again.

Dare I say it? I used two tins of niblets corn. It's what I had & it worked great. I think you could add anything to this recipe, but don't change the dressing as that's what makes it so wonderful. Thanks

I used light red kidney beans in this with fresh corn. Tasted good but could be better will add tomatoes and cucumbers next time. When I want a Mexican flare I will use black beans and other seasonings. Good all round recipe.

yummy yummy yummy. I've made this a few times now and I love adding quinoa, olives, and cherry tomatoes. but, its delicious as is. also, I like using Trader Joe's frozen sweet white corn. it is wonderful in salads. the dressing makes this so delicious. I'll make a huge batch and it will be gone in 2 days.

I've made this on three occasions this summer and each time I have been asked for the recipe. To enhance the taste of the corn, we smoked it on the Traeger grill and then finished cooking by upping the heat. I really enjoy this simple, flavorful and healthy salad. Thanks for sharing SunnyDaysNora. =)

This was a nice, refreshing side dish and perfect for a potluck. I used two bags of frozen shoe peg corn. I will make this again.

Loved this salad!! Made as directed with the exception of adding more garlic as we love garlic, and it was a hit. Delicious and thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I’ll definitely be making it regularly now.

Grilling the corn really makes it delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try. It's great as is or you can add onion, avocado, or peppers. We serve it as side with burgers or as a pot luck dish.

This recipe is wonderful! I double it and take it to parties and it always gets rave reviews. The first time I used fresh corn as instructed, but now I use frozen corn, slightly undercooked. I have even used Birds Eye southwest corn for added interest. All work great! I do add a little finely chopped zucchini and tomato. It's a somewhat flexible recipe. But I do agree, don't mess with the dressing. It is excellent!

Made this for a Sunday evening dinner with friends. It was gone! Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe

I made a few changes when I made it. I was out of cumin, so I used curry instead. I also used chipotle chili powder instead of regular chili powder. I also left out the cilantro as we don't like it, tastes like soap. It was a big hit!

I made this salad,added a large tomato, used the black beans,six ears of corn cause that’s what I had on hand.

This was a fantastic side dish for shrimp tacos I made. I made the recipes as is but added a diced avocado and red bell pepper to it. My husband and kids loved it! Next time I’ll make a double recipe so we have leftovers.
