Blueberry Corn Salad
The weather is perfect in Salt Lake City right now, which makes me want to lay on a blanket in the grass and do nothing else. Too bad my “to do” list is a mile long. I am behind after being in Seattle last week for BlogHer Food. I’m not complaining because Seattle was totally worth it, but that blanket in the sun is still calling my name:)
I finally made it to the store yesterday. We had no food in our house when we got home from Seattle. I picked up blueberries because they were on sale and sweet corn because it looked good. I made one of my favorite summer salads for dinner-Blueberry Corn Salad. It hit the spot!
This salad is light and refreshing. I love the pop of color and juiciness the blueberries add to the corn salad. The cucumbers also add a nice crunch. The salad is full of flavor thanks to the cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, and honey lime dressing.
Celebrate summer by making this Blueberry Corn Salad. It is simple to make and it can be made in advance which makes it perfect for summer bbq’s, picnics, and pool parties.
We have some salad leftover from dinner so I might sneak outside and lay on that blanket with a bowl of Blueberry Corn Salad. Sounds like a great lunch to me. And I know Caleb will appreciate being outside.

I’m thinking this would make for a fabulous father’s day salsa! Yum.
Delish. I forgot how much I love the combo of blueberry and sweet corn!
Wow, this looks like summer in a bowl! The local corn and blueberries haven’t started to arrive yet in my corner of the world, but when they do I’ll have this salad bookmarked to make. Thanks for the recipe!
This salad looks so light and refreshing, any salad that has fruit and veggies is a winner to me.
I made your coconut granola the other night and holy crap, I’m in love. I think it’ll be a new staple in my diet! Thanks so much for the recipe!
This is such a creative way to use blueberries. I never would have thought about this combination before. Can’t wait to give it a try!
I adore blueberries!
I eat 2 cups a day!
they are the best for your skin
This looks perfect! And how darn adorable is it that Caleb is taking the internet by storm this week in all of the bhf recaps?!
What an interesting combo! I am definitely going to try this recipe this summer! Thanks for the great idea.
I love the idea of blueberries in salads and I do this often! Love it paired with the corn
I never thought to combine blues and corn… but that’s dang brilliant!
Thanks for including a link to my salad too!
This corn salad and a blanket in the sunshine are both calling my name! This looks fantastic…light and bright and perfect for summer
Wow, I would never have thought about mixing blueberries and corn except in a muffin or some cornbread. It sounds like a side for my next BBQ..
Cheers.
I’ve never tried the fresh corn/blueberry combo, looks like I’ve been missing out!
This looks great! So colorful and flavorful – I love your use of fresh fruits and veggies! Great way to keep it healthy!
What a yummy looking salad, I want to make this for a BBQ tomorrow I’m wondering if I should mix it all together tonight or just keep it separate from dressing and mix it all when ready to serve. What do you think? And thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Yummmm. I love corn in salads, especially if it’s grilled corn.
Nice and cheap too for college summer days!
Yum this was delicious!
love the idea of adding fruit to the corn!
I could eat this all summer long, yum!!
I cannot wait to try this!!!
I tried this recipe from BHG a couple years ago, too, and fell in love with it. I’m always looking for new things to do with blueberries since I’m blessed with 10 great bushes! I like your tweaks — and since this is blueberry season here, I’m ready!
I love fruit & veggies salads. This looks beautiful. I need to try this.

My friend made this salad and it was scrumptious! I would like to make it tonight but am out of fresh corn. Could I somehow use frozen corn instead?

Sure, you can use frozen corn!

I made this last night and it was delicious. I just used raw corn because it was too hot in my kitchen to boil water.
Thanks!
