Fresh Blueberry and Corn Summer Salad
A refreshing summer salad that balances sweet blueberries with creamy avocado and crisp corn.
dailyrecipesbook.comThis blueberry salad is one of my favorite ways to celebrate peak summer produce. It is light, colorful, and packed with wonderful textures that make it perfect for a sunny afternoon lunch or a side dish at your next backyard cookout.
My top tip for this salad is to use fresh, sweet corn cut straight from the cob if you can find it. If you have any leftovers, wait to add the avocado until right before you serve it so everything stays fresh and vibrant.

๐ก Tips
