Cajun Corn Salad Recipe
This is not your run of the mill salad. I don’t know about you guys but when I cook corn on the cob, I always seem to have some leftover. Its kind of boring just reheated so this salad gives you an alternative for leftovers. And although this is called a “corn salad”, there is a nice mix of other vegetables in it also.. zucchini, carrots, tomatoes… its a refreshing salad and especially tasty this time of year with all the wonderful fresh vegetables.
