Summertime finds me with an overabundance of corn. This side dish is a refreshing change to the same old, same old.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh salads are a staple on many summer menus, and this roasted corn salad should be served all summer long. This salad has simple ingredients and is not overdressed. It contains a mix of sweet roasted corn, zesty onion, and mild zucchini. Ribbons of fresh basil are folded in. Dressed with a touch of tangy balsamic vinegar, and a dash of salt and pepper, it's a delicious side dish.
