Recipe Roundup :: 13 mouth-watering, healthy corn recipes

Seasons and Supper's Grilled Corn Tomato and Arugula Salad

Corn is fresh and sweet and in abundance right now. It's also incredibly inexpensive. Unless you're having an afternoon barbecue, or have a large family you're probably enticed by the low prices yet wondering what you can do with all that corn. While there's nothing like eating it right off the cob, salted, peppered, hot butter running off the sides, perhaps paired with grilled fish, barbecued chicken or chimichurri steak. Don't fret about leftover corn that hasn't been eaten. There's plenty that can be done with it. Simply cut it off the cob using a large, sharp knife and toss it into salads, salsas, soups, corn bread, tacos and on top of bruschetta. Below we share with you 13 mouth watering recipes.
