I just made this tonight and wow, it is so refreshing and yummy. I wish I had found this at the beginning of blue berry season. My husband and son were hesitant to try it, but they did and took seconds and thirds of it. I have enough left my lunch tomorrow.

So glad you enjoyed it. It is a bit of a strange combination but oh so good!!!
Laura Brandenburg says
I made this and cooked the corn before I re-read and saw it wasn’t necessary. Also added grapes — we had some super-sweet organic grapes this week that deserved better than snack status. Very yummy indeed!
