Cilantro Corn Salad

Whenever I visit my parents during the summer it's like winning the farmers market jackpot.
I go home with bags of fresh corn on the cob, zucchini, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and peppers.
Oh and a mason jar full of beautiful zinnias.
My parents have the best garden and they love to share :)

Summer is the perfect time for cold salads and this corn salad is delish.
Use corn cut off the cob if you have it, but it's almost just as good with frozen corn.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Gotta love summer!!
