Kid-Friendly Easy Sweetcorn Salad Recipe

This quick and easy sweetcorn salad recipe with simple honey lime dressing makes a great kid-friendly side dish for family meals, BBQs and summer picnics!

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.

This easy salad recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare so it's great for a quick and healthy side dish to go with mid-week meals. It lasts a few days in the fridge too so it's great for prepping in advance.

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.
