Corn and Bacon Salad

  4.7 – 12 reviews  • Corn Salad Recipes

These cream of mushroom soup-topped oven-baked pork chops are delicious. This recipe is one that my family has used for many years. It is the simplest pork chop dish you can think of.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 5 ears corn, shucked
  2. 2 teaspoons olive oil
  3. 3 slices bacon, chopped
  4. ½ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  5. 1 red bell pepper, cut into cubes
  6. salt to taste
  7. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  8. 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  9. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until slightly soft but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut corn kernels from the cobs; discard cobs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
  3. Cook potatoes, stirring occasionally, in the same skillet over medium heat until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and salt; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Stir corn kernels into potato mixture and cook until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour corn-potato mixture into a large bowl. Add bacon, red onion, cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes; toss to combine.
  6. You can use 3 cups thawed frozen corn for the fresh corn, and any color bell pepper you like.
  7. You can substitute rice vinegar for the cider vinegar, and onion powder for the red onion.

We like this recipe hot, not cold.

I made this for a family picnic and everyone loved it. It’s going to be a regular summer time salad now.
Michael Fletcher
Delicious!! I’m 8mo pregnant, so a bit distracted, and forgot to add the vinegar & red pepper at the end. Will make sure to do that next time! But even without them, it was wonderful & my husband loved it!
Charles Hunter
Delicious! Very versatile recipe. We had it tonight with take-out bbq. Perfect pairing!
Jennifer Hayes
Super easy to make and I only had to go buy bacon. I followed the recipe step by step next time I’ll add my own twist as I think the basics are perfect together.

DONT THROW THOSE CORN COBS OUT. YOU CAN THROW THEM RIGHT ON THE COALS TO ADD A NICE SMOKED FLAVOR TO YOUR GRILLED FOOD. Also if your not grilling for a while, wrap them in plastic and throw them in the freezer.
Evan Gates
Very simple salad. The biggest complaint my family had was that it was onion heavy. If I make again I would try onion powder.
Robin Smith
I made this for a family picnic. I did double the recipe

This was easy and super delicious. Great to use up leftovers from a BLT and corn night. And agree that it would be very easy to modify with your favorite add ins. Simple good summer food. Awesome leftover too!
