This perfect summer corn salad recipe (or corn relish salad as those in the south might call it) comes from a lovely cookbook called Cider Beans, Wild Greens, and Dandelion Jelly: Recipes from Southern Appalachia
.
It’s a wonderful cookbook filled with recipes I had never really seen before like this corn salad.
Corn salad is a great recipe for summer, whether it is a picnic, barbecue or every day family dinner. It is a perfect recipe for a pot luck supper at any time of year.
Colorful and nutritious, the flavors meld together perfectly. It is one of those vegetable side dish recipes that you want to make over and over again because everyone loves it.
Joan Aller, the author of this delightful cookbook, says this about her corn relish salad recipe:
“This is a wonderful picnic salad. The first time I ate corn relish salad was at a company picnic. My boss proudly made it, and I couldn’t stop eating it! I can’t tell you who won the three-legged race, but I’ll never forget this salad.”
I can understand what you mean Joan. It is a fantastic tasting salad and you’ll probably start to make it over and over again.
Fresh salads like this one are welcome all year round.
