Description
Smoky, creamy, and full of summer flavor
This salad reminds me of backyard barbecues and late summer nights—sweet corn still warm from the grill, smoky bacon crackling in the skillet, and that unmistakable tang of blue cheese. It’s bold, colorful, and impossible to stop eating. Whether you serve it as a side or the main event, it brings serious flavor and smiles to the table.
Ingredients
8 ears sweet corn (grilled, boiled, or baked), kernels removed
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
12 oz bacon, cooked and chopped
5 oz crumbled blue cheese
½ cup sliced green onions
Dressing:
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese, and green onions.
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently until coated.
