RECIPE: Summer Corn Salad

By: Open Hand Atlanta

This flavorful and colorful recipe incorporates three powerhouse summer veggies: corn, soybeans (edamame), and bell peppers. Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fat, this vegetarian recipe can stand alone as a balanced meal or be served as a side dish. We also love topping it with our favorite chopped meat for a non-veg version!

Enjoy all year round by subbing in frozen produce.
