Starbucks came out with their Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday and people are going crazy! As much as I love Fall and all things Autumn, it’s still SO HOT here. I just can’t quite jump into the Fall feels just yet. So on that note, I decided to do one last Summer recipe for y’all. This Summer Corn Salad incorporates all those fresh flavors of summer.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Absolutely! In fact, I actually enjoy it more once it’s had a chance to sit and marinade all together. If you only want to make it partially ahead of time, you could chop and prepare all the ingredients and then combine together right before serving.
