Corn Salad Recipe
Made with summer fresh ingredients, this corn salad recipe is one of my top 10 favorite summer salads. You may also love my Delicious Pear Quinoa Salad, or this Oregold Peaches Quinoa Salad. Both so good!
And if you’re a corn lover like I am, this Chipotle BLT Dip, made with fresh avocados, bacon, tomatoes, and fresh corn!
I still love this old photo today that my dad gave me, our family and friends years ago diving right into a delicious summer picnic. That’s my grandmother on the right with the white hair :)
Or, who knows, maybe it was at a rest stop? :)
Quinoa Radish Corn Salad Recipe with Green Goddess Dressing
There’s something about summer that says: Fresh Corn on the Cobb!
So good and sweet and tender, on or off the cob.
This time paired with thinly sliced radishes and snap peas and quinoa.
A simple summer salad.
The final touch: A yummy Green Goddess Dressing (made with avocado). DELISH!
Rest stops on road trips
One of my favorite memories of road trips as a family when I was younger was stopping for meals at rest stops. We never ate out.
Mom would pack sandwiches, chips, soda pop. Usually a leftover summer salad. It was always packed food from home put into an styrofoam cooler.
My grandparents owned a cabin at Breitenbush Hot Springs, so as a little girl, we’d travel there. We’d also travel once a year to Portland, Oregon.
What’s nice about rest stops and eating there with a picnic is that you can get away from behind the wheel, stretch your legs, and enjoy the view. Kids and pets get to run around!
Quinoa Salad Recipe
This salad today reminds me of my childhood, a delicious corn salad. The dressing is out of this world, and this may just be your new favorite picnic salad, too.
Double the recipe and enjoy it all week long. It keeps well in the fridge!
Hope you’re staying cool, friends. It’s hot here in central Oregon, creeping up to 100 degrees, and we have NO air conditioning.
But it cools down beautifully in the mornings, which we are so grateful for :)
