Cucumber Corn Salad is my all-time favorite summer salad, and that’s not an exaggeration. As soon as the weather starts warming up, I make a batch and pretty much keep making it for the rest of the summer. (Homemade cherry limeades are also great in the summer!) This has all of my garden favorites in one dish and is nice and light on a hot day. I add bacon to mine for a little more flavor but trust me, it’s just as good without it. And it’s easy to make!
