This is a quick and easy summertime recipe I have been making for years, and not only in the summer! It is very light and healthy, especially if you use low-fat yogurt and mayonnaise. My husband and kids love this salad, and it is great for picnics and family get-togethers. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A wonderful summertime corn salad that's full of fresh veggies. The shoepeg corn is slightly sweet and a nice contrast to the tangy dressing. We love the crunch from the cucumber and green pepper. Using yogurt makes the dressing a little different than other creamy salads, but very good. This corn salad is a great summer side dish.
