Fresh Summer Corn Salad: A Taste of Sunshine in Every Bite
Every summer, the smell of sweet corn and vine-ripened tomatoes filled the kitchen like a warm breeze through an open window. On scorching afternoons when no one dared touch the oven, we’d turn to dishes that were cool, quick, and full of garden-fresh flavor.
This Summer Corn Salad is more than a recipe — it’s a memory in a bowl. With just a handful of simple ingredients and no fancy steps, it captures the carefree essence of barefoot porch days and golden-hour dinners.
