FAQs
Can I use canned corn instead of fresh corn?
While fresh corn is ideal for this recipe, you can certainly use canned corn if fresh corn is not available. Just be sure to drain and rinse the canned corn before adding it to the salad.
Can I substitute the peaches with another fruit?
If you’re not a fan of peaches, you can easily substitute them with another fruit such as mangoes or strawberries. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness of the dressing accordingly.
How long will this salad last in the refrigerator?
This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the salad is best enjoyed fresh, so try to eat it within a day or two of making it for the best flavor and texture.
