It's Corn Season! If you drive through the valley you will see many yellow barns selling corn.
Here's an incredible, easy, zesty corn salad with a hickory smoked flavor. Seeing we live in the land of Chilliwack Corn, it's only suitable that I share another fine vegetable dish chock-full of fresh vegetables from my garden. We are thrilled to grow corn on our acreage.
