This is one of my family’s favorites – and it’s a grain free, super healthy option to boot. It’s a Win Win! Plus it is super easy and FAST to make – perfect for a quick dinner side or to bring to a potluck gathering.
In summer, when sweet corn is so fresh and plentiful, I just cut it raw right off the cob for the salad! You can also boil the corn on the cob for about 2 minutes before you cut the kernels off, if you prefer. OR – If you can’t get fresh corn, you can substitute canned corn in a pinch. ***NOTE – do not use frozen corn.
