Shoepeg Corn Salad
This Shoepeg Corn Salad is a fresh, crunchy summer favorite that showcases the naturally sweet pop of shoepeg corn. Crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and red bell pepper come together for a satisfying mix of textures, all coated in a creamy, lightly tangy dressing. A touch of sugar balances the vinegar and enhances the corn’s sweetness, creating a perfectly rounded flavor.
