A fresh summer corn salad made with corn, green pepper, onion, celery, and red kidney beans. It has a savory sweet mustard dressing.
This is such a beautiful summer salad for showing off your garden harvest. The colors of the kidney beans and corn show through nicely as the dressing is fairly transparent, but still adds a nice touch of flavor.
Although the dressing is on the savory side, the combination of mustard, sugar, and vinegar mellows when cooked. So, the resulting flavor of the dressing is not as strong or as sweet as you might think.
On those hot summer days, sometimes a cold vegetable salad tastes better than a heavy meal. You can serve this with any type of meat like hamburgers, steaks, or chicken. It looks great on the dinner or brunch table .
For portion sizes, think of this corn salad as similar to cole slaw. Everyone will take a small serving, so even though I listed this as making 12 servings, it could stretch as far as serving 20-24 people.
