Light Summer Salad

This is such a lovely salad, unfortunately I do not make it often enough, as my sons do not eat corn. But today we are meeting at my sisters (we are four sisters) place for a late lunch we just love corn so the corn salad and vegetable pies is my contribution to the lunch table. My weekend is starting off well, and hope all of you have a great weekend.
