Summer Corn & Blueberry Salad created by VernaeL

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

Can I use Trader Joes frozen roasted corn for this recipe?

Absolutely delicious! No red onion -- used white instead. For color, might try green onions next time. Made half a batch, left in fridge overnight, and ate the entire batch at one time.

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.
