This easy corn salad recipe is bursting with flavor and crunch with mini cucumbers and grape tomatoes. I love using mini cucumbers in this recipe because the skin is tender and they have the perfect crunch and taste. This salad tastes so fresh and summery. And it’s naturally gluten-free which makes it a big win.
How to Make This Easy Corn Salad Recipe:
Cook corn on the cob by boiling, grilling, or air frying. I love cooking my corn on the cob in my air fryer. It’s so easy. While the corn is cooking cut up the grape tomatoes, mini cucumbers, and red onion.
Once the corn is cool enough to hold, cut the corn off the cob. (around 3 cups)
Place corn, chopped tomatoes, diced mini cucumbers, chopped red onions in a medium mixing bowl.
In a small bowl mix together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture in with the corn salad and gently stir until it’s all combined.
Can be served right away or chilled.

Very good! This recipe was perfect as a side dish to take to a Thanksgiving meal where I wouldn’t have access to a stove or oven. I made it the night before, packed it in the cooler and it tasted great the next day. It was a nice way to get healthy, fresh veggies on our plates.
