Summer Corn Salad w/ Miso Lemon Dressing
Summer Corn Salad w/ Miso Lemon Dressing
Every Summer I look forward to the fresh sweet corn of the season. Enjoying hot buttered and salted corn straight from the cobb is definitely my first choice but as the weather gets super hot and salads seem more appropriate why not incorporate that delicious flavor of corn into a Salad.
This is so good you’ll be finding recipes to pair it with as a side or do as I do and eat it as a meal! The recipe calls for fresh cilantro but if you prefer you can easily swap it for fresh basil. The miso lemon dressing is sweet and tart and the perfect compliment to the fresh corn!
