Corn & raw mango salad is a refreshing summer salad recipe made with fresh sweet corn, tangy raw mango along with vegetables, herbs, and spices. This is a vegan, gluten-free, healthy and nutritious salad recipe.

Summers are here and so are the summery salads with their vibrant colours. For me, summer is the best time of the year to indulge in refreshing salads. Corn & raw mango salad is one such recipe that we often made during summers.

In this month of April, we get these fresh, hard, tangy raw mangoes in abundance. The addition of raw mangoes in this salad enhances the flavours in this recipe. This is what I call a culinary explosion in the mouth 😅 Burst of flavours, truly irresistible!

The sweetness of corns and tanginess of raw mangoes along with flavorful earthy Indian spices balances flavour of this salad beautifully.

This Corn & raw mango salad is an easy, tasty and healthy summer salad. Vegetables such as red onion, tomatoes and cucumbers are added to this recipe.

You can add vegetables of your choice too. This is such a versatile recipe that you can easily tweak it to your taste buds.

Many times I just add the two main ingredients corn and raw mango along with the spices for a quick snack.

At home, we make this salad with different versions of dressing like vinegarette dressing, mayo, or with some flavourful Indian spices.

Salads like these are best for brunch or as a light meal/snack or as a side dish to heavy meals. It goes very well with grilled dishes and soups.

This salad makes a great option for kitty parties, cocktail parties and are best to carry for picnics and road trips too. This super fresh sweet corn & raw mango salad bursting with refreshing flavours make a great appetizer too.

This juicy corn & raw mango salad is super easy to make and tastes incredibly delicious. This instant salad is light on the stomach and filling too.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat veggies.

I have used fresh sweet corn kernels in making this salad recipe, you can use canned corn too. But I would highly recommend using fresh ones. They taste best and are juicy.

For vegetables, you can use carrots, capsicum, cucumber, onions, spring onions, and lettuce which gives a nice crunch to this salad.

Suggestion:

Salad Dressing Option 1: In a bowl, add a tablespoon of honey & lemon juice. Add minced garlic and add this dressing to the salad.

Salad Dressing Option 2: In a bowl add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil & lemon juice & minced garlic.

You may also add mint leaves for that refreshing taste.

Some find onions too strong in this salad, in that case, you can substitute red onions with spring onions too.
