Grilled Corn Salad

17 Mar Grilled Corn Salad

When it’s hot in the summer, the last thing we want to do is turn on the stove in the house.

So this side salad is perfect for those nights you don’t want to cook and you want to do something cool and fresh!

This also makes an amazing make and take dish for any BBQ, goes great with some grilled chicken or fish, and tastes SOO good on top of tacos!

Enjoy!
