Corn Salad

Eating seasonal foods is always best, you can guarantee that your family is eating the freshest foods possible.  They are at their peak flavor and ripeness.  

This recipe is something I came up with using just what I had in my pantry, refrigerator and garden.  My family loved it!  The fresh corn really put this over the top, but frozen or canned will work too.  The mayonnaise added creaminess and the hot barbecue sauce added spice with a little vinegar bite.  

Truly delicious!
