Corn Salad with Buttermilk Herb Dressing

PictureCorn 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.
*My favorite video for how to cut corn off the cob. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q50JhRiw26Q

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
