Lazy Days and Summer Salads

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!

Fresh Corn Salad

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. This fresh corn salad is full of flavor thanks to the cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, and honey lime dressing.

We have some of this corn salad leftover from dinner so I might sneak outside and lay on that blanket with a bowl of my special blueberry Corn Salad. Sounds like a great lunch to me. And I know Caleb will appreciate being outside.
