Fresh Corn + 5 Recipes = The Best Week Ever 🌽

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read


Hi, Reader,

If you have a farm stand or farmers market near you, you already know: sweet corn season is HERE and it is glorious.

Every summer I look forward to that first haul of fresh corn — the kind that's so sweet and tender you could eat it raw right off the cob. (And spoiler: you totally can! More on that below. 😄)

Whether you're grilling out this weekend, looking for a light summer dinner, or just trying to make the most of the best produce of the year, I've got five delicious ways to put that corn to work.

🌽 Raw Corn Radish Salad​

Did you know fresh sweet corn is delicious raw? This simple, surprisingly flavorful salad is proof. Perfect for BBQs, picnics, or a quick lunch.

🌶 3 Bean Corn Salsa​

Three kinds of beans, lots of vegetables, and ready in just 15 minutes. Serve it as a dip, a side dish, or stuff it into tortillas and call it tacos. It's always a hit.

🍝 Creamy Sweet Corn Pasta​

Sweet summer corn in a creamy, dreamy sauce that comes together in under 30 minutes. This one is absolutely worth making while corn is at its peak.

🍲 Summer Corn Chowder​

Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. Grab a spoon and savor summer in a bowl.

🍛 Creamy Curried Corn Soup​

Vibrant, warming, and ready in 30 minutes. The buttery sweetness of fresh corn with a little kick of curry — trust me on this one.

Enjoy!
