Blueberry Corn Salad

Blueberry Corn Salad is a simple healthy clean summer salad that is sure to please with the fresh sweet taste of the corn and the heat of jalapeño.

Blueberry Corn Salad | ahealthylifeforme.comWe hosted a small cookout with a few friends over the weekend, and my friend Barbie brought this Blueberry Corn Salad.  It was a huge hit with everyone and requests for the recipe were made.  Barbie said it was a recipe her old neighbor had given her before she moved to Boston.  Barbie named off the list of ingredients and I made note, knowing I was going to do an internet search to try to find it.  I entered in Blueberry, Corn, Cilantro and Jalapeño and the recipe popped up over and over.  The original creator of the recipe came from BHG.com (Better Homes & Garden), but it has been copied and shared over and over.

I usually try to only share recipes that I have written and tested or altered to my tastes, but this is one of those recipes you share with friends because it is just delicious a true fresh representation of summer.  I figured I would pass it on to my readers at A Healthy Life For Me so that you can enjoy it with your friends and family this summer.

Note: Barbie suggested not cooking the corn and cutting the corn from the husk raw.  This is how she served it to us and I made the recipe with cooked corn.  I honestly didn’t notice a difference in taste.  Eating the corn raw will give you more of vitamins and minerals and cut down on prep time.

    We had a raw corn salad yesterday and now I seriously wish I had thought to add blueberries. What a brilliant idea. I will be making this one very soon.

    I’ve never heard of putting blueberries in a savory salad likes this one and I’m really intrigued by it! I’ve been grilling a lot of corn lately, and I bet it would be great in a salad like this. Blueberries have been on sale, so I think I need to pick some up and make this salad. Thanks for sharing 🙂

      Isadora,
      Sometimes food combinations can be so surprising. This dish is just a harmony of perfect flavors. The corn, blueberries, jalapeño and the honey and cumin in the dressing just sing together.
      Hope you enjoy, Amy

    I made this salad on Saturday night for a big crowd and they loved it! It was delicious. I used basil instead of cilantro because a few guests don’t like cilantro and it was just as good! I will make it again this week with the cilantro too!Thank you for a great seasonal recipe!

    Blueberries and corn are so delicious together. I make a salad with grilled corn and nectarines with blueberries that’s one of my summer faves. I’ll be giving this one a try for sure (love the cuke in there)!
