With the super deal on corn and Vidalia onions, I knew exactly what recipe I wanted to share with you guys this week—my Grilled Corn & Vidalia Summer Salad.
This recipe screams summer with all the super fresh and delicious ingredients. Paired with a fresh vinaigrette, it’s an amazing side to pretty much any protein. Burgers, steaks, ribs…anything! I have a couple of different vinaigrettes that I will use with this one. Since I happened to have a basil plant that needed to be pruned and used, I went with a basil vinaigrette this time.
I served this salad at a cookout with some friends over the weekend and I am happy to say that my recipe was a huge hit.
I made a double batch and was lucky enough to have a little left over for my lunch the next day. Of course once I polished off the last bit in the bowl, I was already craving more. I think I might serve this one up at my Memorial Day gathering too. BUT…this time I might have to make a triple batch for any chance at leftovers!
Grab these sale items and a couple of additional ingredients and have this spectacular side ready for your holiday festivities! Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Michelle, you’re great at finding sales for us, but I’m guessing the “sale” in the ingredient list should be salt??
Occupational hazard, I guess…
Hahaha–yep…I prefer sale over salt–tee hee!
Got it fixed up. Have a great weekend.
I was at my Publix this morning, and they didn’t have the Vidalia onions…said the 5 pound bag must have been a typo. Did anyone find them at your Publix?
Check your ad–the sale is definitely in mine. Maybe one of those regional deals?
Oh, it was listed in my ad, but the produce guy said the only onions on sale were the loose ones and they never have 5 pound bags. Customer service even checked other Publix in the area and none had the onions even though they were listed in the ads. Maybe they’ll get some in later.
