    Crunchy Sweet Corn Salad with Buttermilk Dressing

    Jump to Recipe

    Crunchy sweet corn salad is a refreshing summer salad with raw fresh corn, cucumber and red bell pepper. Buttermilk dressing is tangy and blended well with the crunchy vegetables and feta cheese. This is a wonderful side dish to take on picnics or barbeque parties. The day made it, wished I had grilled some meat to serve the salad with. Here is another picture of the salad on photo blog.

    Next recipe from Food52 contest winners is a summer salad, crunchy sweet corn salad with buttermilk dressing. As soon as I saw this salad I bookmarked it without even reading the full recipe as I like anything with corn. When I started preparing the salad I realized recipe calls for fresh uncooked corn! I never used fresh uncooked corn as it is and even considered changing the recipe. Since I had all the ingredients ready, I went ahead with the preparation and I am glad I did. I liked the salad and even husband liked it. However, I wonder if he would eat uncooked corn if I made it very often. I would not mind it at all and crunchy sweet corn salad was my lunch and breakfast the next morning.

    Ingredients

    Salad Ingredients

    • ½ small Onion or 1 Shallot thinly sliced
    • 3 ears Fresh Sweet Corn kernels scraped off the cob with a knife (about 2 ⅔ cups of kernels)
    • ½ medium sized Red Bell Pepper chopped (about ⅓ – ½ cup after chopping)
    • 3 - 4 Mini Cucumbers quartered lengthwise and cut to ½” piece (I used 3, about 1 ¾ cup when cut. Can use 4 cucumbers.
    • 1 tbsp minced Dill
    • ¼ cup finely chopped Parsley or Cilantro
    • Rinsed Crumbled Feta Cheese for garnish

    Dressing Ingredients

    • ¼ cup Buttermilk (I used ⅛ cup yogurt + ⅛ cup whey)
    • ⅔ cup Yogurt whisked (check notes)
    • 1 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
    • 3 tablespoon minced Yellow Onion
    • 1 small Garlic minced
    • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • Salt to taste
    • Black to taste

    Instructions

    Salad

    • Salt onion slices in ½ tsp. salt and keep aside for 20 minutes to remove the harshness of the onion. Rinse in water and pat dry on paper towel.
    • In large 1 ½ – 2 quart bowl toss the corn kernels lightly to separate the kernels.
    • Add sliced onions and rest of the salad ingredients and toss to combine. Chill until ready to serve.

    Dressing

    • In a smaller bowl whisk together buttermilk, yogurt, onion, garlic and vinegar.
    • Gradually add oil while whisking until well combined. Season with salt and pepper powder.

    Serving

    • Garnish chilled salad with feta cheese and serve. Pass around the dressing separately.

    Notes

    • Dressing was thick and I liked it this way. But if one prefers thinner dressing, use less yogurt and add a little water. Also, I substituted ⅛ cup yogurt + ⅛ cup whey for buttermilk. So the butter milk was slightly on thicker side. This too could have contributed to a thick dressing.

      Wow what a colorful and yummy looking corn salad. The corn we get here is very soft and juicy, so I make raw salads and salsas quite often. Pinned this recipe to try soon, love the buttermilk dressing.
