It’s still warm and sunny in the South, making me wish for cool, creamy side dishes that don’t take much time in the kitchen. One of my favorites is this delicious Corn Salad recipe. It’s perfect for picnics, impromptu get-togethers, and holiday celebrations because it takes around 10 minutes to make. It’s good served at room temperature, but it tastes even better chilled.

Delicious Corn Salad Recipe
One of the things I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. It’s naturally gluten-free and dairy-free so I can serve it to all the family members with allergies. If I want to make it vegan, all I have to do is switch the regular mayo for vegan mayo. I recommend starting with about 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and then adjusting it to taste.
What You’ll Need
2 (15.25 ounces) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli OR cauliflower, uncooked
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chopped tomatoes
salt and pepper (to taste)
How to Make it
1. In a medium bowl mix corn, cauliflower, onion, and tomatoes.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Stir in the mayonnaise until corm mixture is completely coated.
4. Chill until serving.

I’ve never had corn salad before. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Looks super easy to make.
Wow what a delicious dish! I am for sure making this dish after all of the corn we recently picked up!
These look SO good! Would love to try it this week!
Yum, this recipe looks amazing. I’ve never actually had a corn salad before. Can’t wait to try it for the first time.
I have a dozen fresh ears of corn that will be perfect for this recipe! Never had anything like this!
Corn salad!? NUM NUM IN MY TUM! This sounds like the perfect BBQ side dish! I love that you can use both broccoli and cauliflower in it!
YUM! Love corn and how versatile it is! It’s pretty much perfect for everything, from salads to soups! This one looks really good and I’d love to give it a try one of these days!
I just had corn salad for the first time recently and loved it. I can’t wait to try yours.
Oh yum! We just bought so much corn from our local farmer’s market this weekend and this sounds like a wonderful recipe to whip u with it all!
The corn salad reminds me of the delicious hominy salad my grandma used to make. You’re certainly right about chilled or room temperature salads being yummy this time of year. It’s hard to top an easy to make dish that has so many extra additions available, including green peas , tomatoes, or broccoli.
This will probably be a good side recipe to have on hand for parties and barbecues. It looks really tasty!
A great Fall harvest salad! The photos really show just how delicious this salad looks!
