About this Recipe
By: Holli Beckman
There’s nothing that screams summer to me like corn on the cob and meals straight from the grill. This salad gives me all the summer feels and brings back memories of eating dinner on the back deck before heading over to watch a movie at the drive-in theater or going to get an ice-cream cone at PJ’s and taking a walk down the Wellfleet pier.
While this year we are landlocked and not traveling, I can still enjoy this recipe and take a trip down memory lane.
The beauty of this salad is its versatility. Season to taste and if you’re tired of salad, try using this as a filling in your next quesadilla. My husband likes to treat it like salsa and eat it with chips. Whatever. It’s summer…anything goes!
