Corn Salad Recipe (step by step)

Corn Salad is an easy, tasty, and healthy recipe of salad made with sweet corn, cucumber, onion, spices, and herbs. It’s one of the ultimate summer side dishes!

Juicy sweet corn kernels are used in many recipes and are commonly found in salads. Corn salad is one such simple recipe where sweet corn kernels are mixed with various fresh vegetables and herbs and sprinkled with pepper and salt.
