Ear Corn Recipes

A healthy appetizer or side dish that's heavy on the veggies. Use store-bought or homemade hummus.

I'm taking a 4th of July menu from Allrecipes and trying to lighten it up. The original of this recipe had 179 calories and almost 13 g. of fat per serving.

Fresh salsa is always better than bottled, and it is much lower in sodium. This salsa is great with tortilla chips, on tacos or burritos or tostadas, or even straight out of the bowl!

I love grilled corn on the cob and this butter is delicious

Low in fat, but big on taste, everyone wins with this comforting soup recipe!

We love corn this way, you don't need butter or salt added after it is cooked

One of the best things about summer is the fresh vegetables that you can get at a farmers market or your own garden (or if you're lucky like I am, a neighbor's garden). Grilling really brings out the flavor of the corn and zucchini, and it's so easy to do.
The other great thing about summer is the herbs. You can use any combination you like. I used basil, cilantro, oregano and lavender, but use what's available and what you like.
This is a really easy salad to make, the prep work just takes some time but it's really worth it.

A sweet, light salad.

A great recipe from Anheuser-Busch. A great refreshing summer salad!

Sweet summer corn gets a tangy twist.

Great dish to bring to a summer cookout as there is no mayo involved. Leftovers make great lunches for the week.

Quick Yummy Chicken and Veggies

Quick and easy family style meal.

This is easy and delicous.

Less fatting than original But the butter adds to the flavor.
A friend likes it when I substitue chiles for fresh peas.
(Original called for whole milk or heavy cream and more butter.)

This simple side dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken and broiled salmon.

This came out great but the quantities are based on whatever vegetables we had in the fridge. You may have more, less or different veggies to add. The most important items are the seasonings: soy sauce, white wine, orange juice, and roasted garlic. We also used olive oil to saute all the veggies.

You may add a serving of lo mein; not included above.

This is a great recipe when the garden is overflowing.

A hearty salad made with wheat berries, this is a fantastic potluck contribution.

Take a break from eating corn on the cob to make this simple soup. Pair with a grilled steak and green salad, and dinner's ready.
