BBQ Corn Salad

You guys know I’m all about a taco dinner right? But it can’t just be tacos, well I guess technically it could – but hello, we need side dishes!! Like loaded potatoes and a BBQ corn salad! Things that take almost no time to whip up but seriously pack a punch when it comes to taste!

I’m all about making your lives easier but not skimping on ANY flavor. None. We need lots of delicious things in our lives at all times, am I right? So when Birds Eye came to be to help debut their new line of Steamfresh® Flavor Full veggies I was 100% game. They have BBQ Sweet Corn you guys. Game over! If you’ve been a WGC reader for a while, you know corn and potatoes are my go-to’s when it comes to side dishes. You can mix and match them any way, serve them with just about anything and it’s bound to be glorious. So I thought for about .23 seconds and figured I’d whip up a dinner near and dear to my heart…

Carnitas Tacos

Loaded Potatoes (Sour Cream & Onion Steamfresh® Flavor Full Potatoes + Cheese + Bacon + Green Onions = DONE!)

Aaaaannnddd…. BBQ Corn Salad (recipe below)

The sides take less than 5 minutes of hands on time each – I’m not sure life gets better than that! And the carnitas make enough to double as leftovers for lunch the following day. I’d say it’s a win all around!  Before we get to the giveaway – you should probs just freak out for a minute that Birds Eye has Ranch Broccoli, Buffalo Cauliflower and Sour Cream & Onion Potatoes, among other flavors! Those are my current favs – but feel free to check out the others and go to town!
