Blue Cheese Corn Salad
Description
The Blue Cheese Corn Salad brings together drained canned corn and diced white onion, complemented by green onion and fresh parsley for flavor and color. The dressing that binds these ingredients mixes sour cream for creaminess, lime juice for acidity, and garlic for a subtle pungency. Crumbled blue cheese adds distinctive sharp and salty notes throughout. Tossing the salad gently coats each kernel and vegetable piece with the dressing, maintaining the corn’s sweetness and freshness.
This cold salad offers a refreshing balance of creamy, tangy, and savory elements paired with crunchy vegetables, making it suitable as a light side dish or accompaniment to grilled foods. The blue cheese flavor can be adjusted by adding more or less to taste.
