Sweet corn, summer tomatoes and cucumbers, fresh basil, and parsley are tossed with a bright, tangy vinaigrette to create this summer salad.

Corn Tomato Cucumber Salad

There is nothing that can beat the fresh, bright flavors of summer vegetables when they’re combined in a summer salad. I love all of the summer vegetables, but if I’m being honest, corn may always be my favorite.

With its crisp, juicy bite and sweet flavor, fresh corn adds an unforgettable element to any salad. Raw, steamed, roasted, boiled, grilled, sauteed, you can use it however you like and add it to just about any salad.

For this salad, the corn is kept raw both for the extra crunch and for the juicy bright sweetness it contributes. You’ll want to choose firm, ripe tomatoes and crisp cucumbers for the other components of this recipe. Because all of the ingredients are raw and very lightly tossed in the tangy dressing, you want everything to be as fresh and ripe as possible.
