Summer Corn & Blueberry Salad

LylR's Note:

I found this in a magazine and thought it sounded so unusual and an unexpected combination so gave it a try for an upcoming get together -- everyone LOVED it at the party and I've made it again since and served to a big crowd who oohed and ahhed and asked for the recipe! Enjoy. 25 min prep; chill overnight optional

I saw this in a magazine also. I was going to post the recipe also but I found it here. It was such an unusual recipe I had to try it. It is absolutely delicious. The flavors all go together so well. Even my husband loved it and he usually won't even taste things like this. Luckily I beat him to the leftovers for lunch the next day. He was disappointed when it was gone. I have made it weekly since them since we have tons of fresh corn from the garden. The only change I made was to substitute zucchini ( we have tons) for the cucumber. Also several family members hate cucumbers.

I also had this recently at a barbeque and it was excellent! I made my own version and added a little fresh avocado for a creamier texture, which was a nice change, but next time I'll make it exactly as written. Thank you for posting it!
