Hey guys! Today I’m linking up with some of my favorite healthy bloggers to bring you a full healthy summer meal, including main dishes, sides, and dessert. There are some delicious gluten-free, vegetarian, and paleo options on this list, so there’s something for everyone.

Scroll down to see what everyone made, and at the bottom of this post I’m sharing my Grilled Lime Corn Salad recipe. I’ve been making this recipe for years, so it’s about time that I share it on the blog!

Now onto this lime corn salad! As I mentioned before, I’ve been making this recipe for years, but every time I change it up just a bit.

The original recipe I found years ago called for 1 stick of butter for 4 ears of corn, which sounded outrageous to me. I use just 2 Tablespoons of grass-fed butter, and I think it’s plenty!

The fresh lime and cilantro give this salad a big punch of summer flavor, making it a perfect barbecue side dish.

Between grilling the corn and prepping the remaining ingredients, this salad comes together in just under 10 minutes, which you really can’t beat.
