    Today I have a lovely new side dish recipe for you that's perfect for family meals and barbeques this summer! This easy sweetcorn salad includes a rainbow of veggies and a sweet mild honey lime dressing that kids will love.

    Why not get the kids involved in making this yummy sweetcorn salad - I always find my boys are much more likely to eat a dish if they've helped to prepare it themselves!

    Younger kids can help drain the sweetcorn, de-seed the pepper, mix the salad ingredients and whisk up the dressing, and older kids can help with the measuring and chopping too.
