Mixing drained canned corn with salad dressing intensifies the corn's flavor and can transform it into a simple or fully developed salad. Dressings such as poppyseed, vinaigrette, or green goddess each emphasize different corn qualities: sweetness, subdued tang, or earthiness. Toss corn with a silky vinaigrette or creamy dressing and refrigerate for a few hours to allow flavors to meld. Additional ingredients that complement rather than overpower corn include feta, cherry tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, and basil. A zesty dressing of apple cider vinegar and olive oil pairs well with such a hearty, sweet-herbaceous mix.
Canned corn is the ingredient called upon to amp up other foods, but it doesn't always receive the same attention. Sure, the sweet pantry staple comes packed with its fair share of flavor, but just one ingredient can make it the main affair. To boost the taste of canned corn in a matter of seconds, mix it with salad dressing.
Buttery corn is elevated with a spectrum of salad dressings, ranging from silky vinaigrettes to thick, creamy dressings. Pick whichever one floats your fancy and toss it well with drained canned corn. Add in a few extra ingredients to complete the dish, or simply enjoy the two together. Either way, let the corn and dressing sit in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
As long as you opt for a flavorful dressing, the combination should be great as is. If you really want to transform it into a full-blown corn salad, though, choose ingredients that won't dominate the vegetable. Corn is often relied on as a subtle salad topping, so it's important that it's treated as the focal point. Our corn salad contains feta, cherry tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, and basil. The hearty mix features a blend of sweet, herbaceous flavors that complement corn without overtaking it.
