Corn Salad with Buttermilk Herb Dressing

Corn Salad

As the season for corn draws to an end, I urge you to try this delicious corn salad while you can still make it fresh. Yes, you'll have to *cut the kernels off the cob after cooking, but it's really not that difficult. Cooking the corn in the microwave is easy too; You'll find several videos of this process on YouTube. I've found it's fun to try different herbs in this recipe. As for the dressing, I suggest you keep a container of buttermilk powder in the fridge to use whenever you want to make this dressing or use for other purposes.
