Corn, Cucumber, Tomato Salad is fresh, cool, and super easy. It's a great summer salad and goes great alongside any grilled meal and the perfect addition to any potluck.

Since the corn in this salad is raw, it's a great way to use only fresh, sweet, tender corn.

  • 2 or 3 ears corn
  • 2 small cucumbers
  • 3 tomatoes

  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
