Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped

- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped, or 4 green onions, chopped
Recipe Notes
- For a less creamy salad, reduce the mayo or yogurt to 1/4 cup.
- Change up the vegetables to suit your family's tastes. Chopped green beans (parboil them first), cooked diced potatoes, red bell pepper or chopped carrots would be delicious.
- You could add some garlic powder and/or onion powder to the dressing.
- For a little spice, stir in some chopped fresh jalapeno or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge.
Here's how to make it:
- Whisk together the sour cream, mayo or yogurt, white wine vinegar and celery seed in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Put all the vegetables into a large bowl. Add the sour cream mixture and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
