Description
A fresh and vibrant creamy corn salad made with sweet corn, a rich dressing, and bright herbs for a light yet satisfying side dish.
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If using fresh corn, cook it briefly and allow it to cool. If using canned or frozen corn, ensure it is well-drained.
