Fresh Summer Corn & Tomato Salad Recipe Notes
I love the combination of corn and tomatoes. And I love simple salads that can be tossed together in one bowl without a lick of cooking.
When I make this salad using really fresh uncooked corn. If you prefer to use cooked corn you could give it a quick blanch, grill or roast.
The most challenging part of this summer corn tomato salad is cutting the corn from the cob. If you want some tips and hints for the best way to do it, I've included a video that should help.

This is probably a silly question about the corn/tomato salad, but do you cook the corn first?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Micki,
It's not silly at all. I do not cook the corn first for this salad. - Martha
Nancy Westenfield
I enjoyed the combination very much and could not stop eating the salad. So easy to make and keep a couple of days
Jamie
Hi - love your site. Can you use frozen or canned corn?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Jamie, I've only ever used fresh but think either defrosted and well drained frozen or canned would work okay. ~Martha
