Broccoli Corn Salad
I made this Broccoli Corn Salad after trying it at a church baby shower this past weekend. One of the gals in our church, Irina, made it for the party and I went back for seconds. It was just perfect. She actually told me one of my broccoli salads were inspiration for her salad! I snapped a pic, jotted down how she made the dressing and voila!

My hubby and I ate more than half between the two of us. We used fresh corn on the cob, organic broccoli and tomatoes straight from my Mama’s garden. It was wonderful. Thanks Irina! 🙂
Ingredients for Broccoli Corn Salad:
1 large or 2 medium heads of broccoli
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if larger
1/2 can corn or cooked corn from 1 large ear or corn
1 large carrot, grated
1/4 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
Dressing:
4 Tbsp Ranch
4 Tbsp Mayo
2 small or 1 large garlic clove, pressed
How to make this Easy Broccoli Salad:
1. Chop broccoli into small florets. Use a potato peeler to peel the stems and dice cleaned stems to use in your salad as well (no waste!)
2. In a large bowl, combine chopped broccoli, 1 cup sliced tomatoes, corn kernels, 1 grated carrot, and 1/4 cup craisins.
3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together 4 Tbsp ranch, 4 Tbsp mayo and 2 cloves of pressed garlic. Mix until smooth then stir the dressing into the salad to taste. We used the entire amount.

Can’t wait to try this! It looks wonderful and I already like the ingredients! Thanks for another great recipe!
I hope it becomes your new favorite, Debbie!
Hi. Wondering what is meant by 4T. Ranch. Is it ranch dressing from a bottle or ranch dressing powder used to make ranch dressing.
Hi Elyse, 4 Tbsp is 4 Tablespoons. You can make your own ranch dressing with the powdered mix.
I made it .mit was filling and awesome but I steamed my broccoli 🥦
I’m glad you liked it!
Is the broccoli steamed or boiled or is it raw
Hi there, we used fresh broccoli
Is the broccoli and corn steamed or raw? I look forward to trying this recipe!
Hi Teresa, we use fresh broccoli and always cooked corn. Broccoli can be eaten raw but corn should be cooked.
hi Nattasha, Is broccoli cooked ? or fresh ?
Hi Tran, we used fresh Broccoli
I knew I would love this salad from just scanning through the ingredients. Making it was a breeze and it tasted even better the next day!
No more throwing out spoilt broccoli 😬

This salad has become one of our favorites! Thank you for the recipe!

where’s the carb count for this salad
Hi Juell, due to time constraints, we don’t usually provide nutritional info for our recipes. Have you tried caloriecount.com? You can use their recipe analyzer and past the list of ingredients into it to get nutritional info.
It’s so good and easy to prepare, thank you so much for the recipe! Will make it again tomorrow!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Just made this salad. I absolutely love everything!!! Dressing like a dream, it taste amazing!!!! My new favorite fresh salad! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!!!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
How many people will eat from this salad? If I want do it for 30 people how many portions I have to make?
It depends on the portion you will be serving. Will there be any other salads on the menu? If there are no other salads on the menu, i would at lest triple the recipe. Hope this helps 🙂 .
This looks amazing. Can I share your recipe (with a link to your blog also) on our website/blog. We are Loving Arms Cancer Outreach, a resource for cancer patients in Georgia. I post recipes on “Tasty Tuesdays”. Thanks, Janet
Janet, that’s totally fine and thank you for asking :). Just reword the instructions with your own words, otherwise Google will mark both of our sites down for duplicate content.
Thank you Natasha! Great salad and so easy to make!
Delia, thank you for the great review and you are welcome :).
Natasha, do u think this salad would be ok made ahead of time? Or will it get too soggy? Luv luv luv ur site, by the way!! U r amazing!!
Natasha, you can make everything ahead of time, just mix in the dressing before serving :). Have a great 2015!
Hi Natasha! I was just reading the comments on this recipe (which I am planning on making) and the cookbook comment caught my eye. You know, whenever I think of bloggers making cookbooks from their website recipes, I usually think, “I prefer just the recipe online..”
But I think if you made a cookbook, I would totally buy it! Because I use your website so much, and I think it WOULD be easier for me to just have your cookbook open, instead of scrolling through my laptop.
Anyways, im done rambling now.. Hope you do it one day! 🙂
Thank you so much Val. What a nice thing to say! 🙂 I’ve actually been thinking about it more and more; trying to put together the perfect concept for a book. I sure appreciate the encouragement 🙂
Fantastic salad! And so beautiful. I made it for my Missions Board dinner meeting, and it was a huge hit. I served sliced unsalted almonds alongside for a garnish. I thought about adding bacon too, but there was bacon in the potato soup I served with it. (Believe it or not, SOME people – certainly not ME – think you CAN have too much bacon!)
Those people just don’t know what’s good for them. lol. 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed the salad! It sounds so good and tell me more about this bacon potato soup?! I just ate and suddenly I’m hungry again! 🙂
I had to make this salad twice during the same dinner tonight. So good! The dressing was excellent.
I wonder if there is a way to make the same good tasting dressing but with plain or Greek yogurt only. That is what I told to my husband about it today to make him feel even better, because he is on a healthy low fat diet.
Will be making this salad again and again. Thanks for sharing!!!
Natasha, how is your cooking book doing?…
About that cookbook. I’m barely recovering from August (major food aversions with this pregnancy) but things are getting better. I’ve been thinking about it more… does that count? lol. If you do figure out a Greek yogurt dressing, do let me know! That sounds yummy and much healthier!
Very healthy! Looks delicious too!
Thanks Valya 🙂
Ohh goodness this sure looks delicious!! I think i’m also going to add bacon to mine for that extra kick 😉
Oooh now that does sound so good!! Thanks for the tip! 🙂
I love broccoli salads and this is a great variation!
Me too! Me too! 🙂
I admire that some people know just what ingredients to mix in a salad to make it taste good 🙂 I’m not one of those people so these recipes are super helpful. Thanks!
I’m kind of the same way. I way over-analyze sometimes and forget to use common sense. lol. I totally admire those people too. 🙂
You can’t go wrong with this combination of colors Natasha ! This salad looks beautiful! I have to try this simple dressing 🙂
I hope you love it! It really is so simple and tasty 🙂
This looks delicious and packed full of folate! Perfect for pregnant mommies! Gorgeous presentation!
You’re so right! I wasn’t even thinking about that but now I feel really good about eating a whole bunch of it ;). Thanks Lindsey!
Oh wow, that does look delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
Thank you Julie! I hope you love it as much as we do 🙂
