Caprese Corn Salad: Clean out the Freezer Dish
With the Spring Season in full bloom, our family has been busy doing a lot of house projects. On the top of my list was to clean out the freezer. This dish came together in less than 30 minutes and all it involved was a little thawing and chopping. All these ingredients are some of my favorite flavor combos and pairs perfectly with leftover chicken or steak.
I loved that I was able to put together a nutritious meal and clean out my freezer all at the same time! Be sure to check out Easy Home Meals and NFRA for more frozen food tips!

I love dishes like this! Two birds with one stone. I love the idea of the sweet corn in this salad. A nice sweet crunch – what a good idea!
