Tomato corn salad recipe
Corn salad with tomato is so easy! With a handful of fresh ingredients, you can whip up one of the best salads, full of juicy, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumber, and red onion. We’ve made this corn salad super versatile for you:
- Corn: Use fresh or canned corn in this recipe. We prefer fresh corn, boiled, then sliced off the cob to make nice, juicy chunks.
- Tomatoes: cherry tomatoes have a delicious sweet flavor. Use grape tomatoes if you prefer.
- Onion: Red onion is great, but white onion slices will also work as they are less pungent than yellow onion. You can soak red onion slices in cold water for a couple of minutes to eliminate the pungent taste.
- Cucumber: Seedless English cucumber or small Persian cucumber will work great.
