Joshua Vincent
The BEST summery salad. I make it following the basic recipe for the corn, beans and dressing, and change up the other ingredients depending on what I have. It’s a great make-ahead side for bringing on our RV trips.

I made this salad,added a large tomato, used the black beans,six ears of corn cause that’s what I had on hand.
Aaron Robinson
This was a fantastic side dish for shrimp tacos I made. I made the recipes as is but added a diced avocado and red bell pepper to it. My husband and kids loved it! Next time I’ll make a double recipe so we have leftovers.
Patricia Joseph
I used leftover grilled corn. We loved the dressing and the texture of the salad. Will absolutely make again.
Maria Rodriguez
Excellent. I made it with a bag of frozen corn, thawed, and browned it in a pan with the butter and garlic powder. Everyone loved it.
Nicole Richardson
Loved this salad!! Made as directed with the exception of adding more garlic as we love garlic, and it was a hit. Delicious and thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I’ll definitely be making it regularly now.
Kenneth Smith
My family and friends have enjoyed this recipe. I’ve made no changes other than sometimes having to grill the corn longer than the time indicated in the recipe. Will make again!
Christy Farmer
Just made this and am quite impressed! Had to sub a few things only because my pantry is low. Used lemon instead of lime juice, onion powder instead of garlic powder, hot sauce + paprika to mimic the chili powder, and used canned corn. Also added zucchini and canned tomatoes with green chiles per other reviewer’s advice. Also added some mild salsa to the dressing as had no cilantro and that had it in it. Outstanding! Me and roomie have recently switched to a vegetarian diet, and am always looking for things like this. A keeper!

I really liked this recipe. Oh I did have to change a couple things based on ingredients I had. I used white wine vinegar instead of red. I did not have cilantro (but I bet it would be awesome with cilantro). I used some homegrown sweet corn that I had frozen. I added some chopped cherry tomatoes that I had. I also only used 2 Tbsp of olive oil. The seasoning combination was perfect for me. I will be making this recipe again.

yummy yummy yummy. I’ve made this a few times now and I love adding quinoa, olives, and cherry tomatoes. but, its delicious as is. also, I like using Trader Joe’s frozen sweet white corn. it is wonderful in salads. the dressing makes this so delicious. I’ll make a huge batch and it will be gone in 2 days.
Ronald Maldonado
Yummy. Big hit with teens too. Didn’t use all the dressing, but that’s our family. Very good have made it three time!
Kimberly Martin MD
The dressing surprised me – I for some reason expected a different type of flavor – very delicious. I was short on time so used canned corn and it was great. I also added grape tomatoes and avocado; next time I’ll throw red onion in too. Great and quick to bring to a summer BBQ.
Christina Huang
Nice different way to have corn on a hot summer’s day picnic. I grill my corn directly on the grill, I like the little charred bits of corn. It gives it a nutty flavor.
Samuel Garcia
This was a nice, refreshing side dish and perfect for a potluck. I used two bags of frozen shoe peg corn. I will make this again.
Rachel Lewis
I made it just as described except I added just a tiny bit of chopped jalapeno to give it a little punch. Very good and super easy recipe.
Brooke Moreno
I made this for a potluck and it turned out great. I wanted to use frozen white corn but not finding any in my local market, tried two cans of white corn and was happy with the taste. Otherwise followed the recipe. This will now be my go-to corn salad recipe. Love the dressing.
Taylor Watkins
Made this for a Sunday evening dinner with friends. It was gone! Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe
Katie Robinson DVM
I made a few changes when I made it. I was out of cumin, so I used curry instead. I also used chipotle chili powder instead of regular chili powder. I also left out the cilantro as we don’t like it, tastes like soap. It was a big hit!
Veronica Grimes
This salad was a huge hit at our neighborhood BBQ recently!! Added avocado & red bell pepper because I had it & it added color!! Will use this recipe again I’m sure! Thanks to the original cook!
Carl Johnson
I used lemon balsamic vinegar and it was great with the lime.
Michelle Bush
