Recipe Box, Corn Salad
Corn salads seem to be trending this summer
I am a huge fan of summer corn so
I”ve been reading many corn salad recipes
Some have a lime dressing which doesn’t appeal to me
and some have a mayonnaise based dressing
which doesn’t really appeal to me either
I decided to keep it simple and not use any dressing at all
and just enjoy the fresh flavors of the corn,
tomatoes, green onions and bacon
I cooked the corn in the microwave
Allow 4 minutes per ear on high
or you can roast it right in the husk in the oven
at 350 for 1 hour
You can read more about these cooking methods
and other tips and tricks for corn on the cob here
Put the corn in a salad bowl along with chopped tomatoes,
green onions and bacon pieces
and season with salt and pepper to taste
We enjoyed this as a side dish with cheeseburgers
Easy, fresh and delicious!

Simple is always best when using fresh ingredients. Love the idea of the combo of corn and bacon.
Thank you Bernadette, simple and delicious!
Perfect for bbq!
Yes!
Big fans of fresh corn here too Jenna. I love this idea and the only thing I may change is I’ll grill the corn. We grill a lot of corn and it’s so fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to make your corn recipe.
Yes, grilling the corn would be even better! Thanks Emily~
This sounds great, Jenna! I love the microwave way of cooking corn in the husks.
Oops that was my comment, Jenna!
Thanks for letting me know Kitty!
Thank you, yes, that’s such an easy way to cook corn~
Jenna, corn is my favorite summer vegetable. This simple recipe allows the corn to be the star! Of course, bacon always adds flavor. Happy Thursday!
Thanks Pam 🌽
All the goodness of the season in one dish!
Simple and delicious!
My kind of food – but my family would love it more if I called it a “BACON” salad.
Ha ha, I know what you mean! We really enjoyed this simple salad, summer corn is the best!
Simple and basic, but beautiful and between the corn and the bacon, I know I would love it!
Thanks Linda, it’s a great summer side dish~
Jenna, I realized today that I have not been getting emails like I used to saying you had commented on my comment. I enjoy the dialogue with you, so I looked at your last blog post. I commented. You commented. I did not get an email to indicate that. Do you know if others are having this problem? I haven’t changed any settings. I don’t know if this is on my end or yours. I do know that WordPress can be flaky. For example, today I was able to click on the “like” button on a different blogger’s comment section; I haven’t been able to do that in months on her blog.🤪
I have no idea why that is happening, so sorry! I try to always reply to comments and haven’t changed anything on my end
I guess I will just have to remember to check the previous day’s blog. I have learned there doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason to WordPress; you have to take the good with the bad. Thanks for responding so I’ll know how to proceed.🙃
I know, it can be crazy! Have a nice weekend~
We had a corn salad tonight very similar to this one. I’ve pinned it, and I will make this version next time.
So simple and so good! Did the corn salad you made have a dressing?
Doesn’t this look yummy. We have early fresh corn. Going to make this today! Thank you!
Thanks Nancy, so simple and so good!
Is there anything that says summer more than fresh corn on the cob and tomatoes? My cherry tomatoes are just starting to come in, so, this will be perfect. Plus, it is so pretty!
Thanks Pattie, so simple and delicious!
I’ve found that salting the tomatoes and letting them sit a few minutes creates a nice flavored tomato juice for a nice salad dressing.
Great tip, thanks Karen!
I am always wild about corn salad but this is a new one on me. I love every single ingredient — gotta try it!
Thanks Jeanie, it’s a great side dish!
What a great way to use corn curls! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Your contributions have been wonderful.
Thank you Helen, I will miss your foodie party!
Oh m y gosh Jenna, it’s been so hot here and this looks just perfect in the heat! Love fresh corn and fresh tomatoes – nothing better – and bacon is the crowning touch. I’m not sure if I’d add a dressing either, especially with that cheeseburger that looks absolutely mouthwatering! I hope you are managing to stay cool down there!
Thank you Kim! This simple salad is a wonderful summer side dish! Sorry you’re experiencing hot temps too~
It’s hard to beat fresh corn in the summer Jenna! I feel so bad for the corn farmers in our area that are struggling with the lack of rain and excessive heat.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that Mary…
That sounds delicious! We just got some local fresh corn from the farmstand and it is just perfect right now. I love fresh salads like this.
Thank you, it makes a wonderful summer side dish!
Jenna,
