Treat your ingredients with care...

• Corn — If using fresh corn, boil it for 5-7 minutes until tender. If using canned corn, make sure to drain and rinse it before adding it to the salad.

Tips & Tricks

• For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts on top of the salad.
• Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or radishes.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of vinegar in the dressing.

Serve the Polish Corn Salad as a refreshing side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a topping for tacos or quesadillas.
