Bring this salad on your next picnic or get together with family and friends.  It is sure to be a big hit!

We are still making our way through Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix Cookbook.  This month our friend Karen, of Karen's Kitchen Stories, has chosen the themes.  We post every Tuesday and welcome other's to join us.  You don't have to have Bittman's book.  Many of the recipes are available on line at the New York Times.  Next week we are making Kebabs.

But this week Karen chose the section listed Corn + 12 ways.  Bittman gives you 3 general idea on 4 different ways to serve corn.  He offers ideas for cold salads, warm salads, soups and fried cakes.  Since it is summertime and we are eating a lot of grilled foods I decided to make a cold salad.

However there were leftovers so the following night I served them to my Little Miss along with these Homemade Taco Hot Pockets.  She absolutely loved it.

It was early in the season for me to make a corn salad but I was able to find some decent ears of fresh corn in my market from down south.  Our corn season in Michigan is in August and my husband wants corn each and every day.  He is with sweet corn in the summer as I am with asparagus in the spring.  We can't get enough of it.  I have a feeling I will be looking for more of Bittman's techniques when that happens. There is an idea in there for Corn Crab Cakes....now that's what I'm talking about.

Let's take a look at what Cam and Karen are sharing today.
