This hearty Corn, Tomato and Cucumber Salad is so easy to prepare and bursting with flavor!
I hope everyone had a great Easter! Â I needed a good veggie salad after all of the indulging at my mama’s house, so I made this easy salad. Â It takes all of 10 minutes to throw together!
It also has jalapeños, red onion, cilantro and other seasonings.  Don’t let the jalapeños scare you off, though… this salad’s not hot at all.
I ate this salad as a meal, but it’s a perfect side dish that’s satisfying but not too heavy. Â It would also be great served on top of grilled fish!
Enjoy!

I can’t wait to try it even as a dish by itself, but I’d consider it with crispy chopped up bacon I’m it as a plus side.

This salad is delicious, quick & easy to make (chilled before serving). Served it with spicy black bean veggie burgers. Used a little less salt/pepper and added Joe’s Stuff seasoning. Absolutely loved it and sent recipe to my daughter!!

I love this recipe. Every time I make it, everyone asks for the recipe. I use fresh corn (2 ears = 1 can) each time, though.

One of our ALL TIME FAVORITE RECIPES, EVER!!!! We make this to celebrate Spring/Summer, we take it to potluck brunches, we gift it to people recuperating from surgery, we make it in advance and take it camping and feel like happy royalty. You want to dive right in with a HUGE spoon. Seriously, this recipe is ALL THAT! We are so grateful… every single year. Thank you!!!
