I am obsessed with summer salads, and this zesty roasted corn salad is one of our favorites. It's fresh, colorful, easy to make, and packs a lot of flavor in every bite. The combination of crisp vegetables, bright lime dressing, and roasted corn creates the perfect balance of freshness and smoky sweetness.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is. During corn season, fresh sweet corn is my preference, but honestly, frozen roasted corn is usually my go-to most of the time. It has great flavor and texture, it's available year-round, and it saves a lot of prep work.
You'll love how quickly this salad comes together and makes a wonderful side for cookouts, potlucks, meal prep, or an easy side dish for busy weeknights.
