A few weeks ago my mom came to North Dakota, and taught me how to make this AMAZING roasted corn salad. It was so amazing that I have made it FIVE times since then. Yes, we have eaten this delicious corn salad a total of six times in about three weeks.
It’s too amazing for me not to share the recipe with you!

We have eaten this as a meal alone, as a side to just about anything, and as a salad. My friend also just suggested using Trader Joe’s frozen fire roasted corn to save a step, so next time I’m bringing groceries back from the city I’m going to grab some and try it! I hope you love this delicious summer salad as much as we do!
